Afcon 2019: Tanzania were scared of Senegal - Amuneke

Tanzania coach Emmanuel Amuneke has encouraged his players ahead of their second Group C game against Kenya at the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) on Thursday.

The Taifa Stars suffered a disappointing 2-0 loss to Senegal in their opening game in the tournament at the 30 June Stadium on Sunday.

The 43-year-old Nigerian tactician believes his side’s inexperience and nervousness caused the defeat against the Teranga Lions.

But the former Barcelona player is hoping for a positive attitude from the Taifa Stars when they take on their East African neighbours.
