Egypt manager Javier Aguirre was happy with his side’s Africa Cup of Nations success over Uganda on Sunday despite the Cranes causing the host nation several problems.
A Mohamed Salah free-kick and Ahmed Elmohamady strike secured a 2-0 win over Sebastien Desabre’s troops. However the final score didn’t tell the full story as the East African nation forced Mohamed El-Shenawy into a string of saves.
Speaking to the media after the encounter, Aguirre believed Desabre’s team caught his side off guard with their brave approach but was satisfied with his side’s showing to secure the victory and maintain their unblemished record.
