Abdallah Mubiru reveals why Uganda struggled against Kenya

The tactician admits the Harambee Stars had the advantage by playing long balls but was pleased with his defenders for dealing with them

Uganda head coach Abdallah Mubiru has admitted his charges found it hard to deal with long balls by Kenya in a friendly game played last Sunday.

The Cranes took a deserved lead in the 23rd minute courtesy of Emmanuel Okwi before Kenneth Muguna made it even in the 52nd minute.

The interim Uganda coach admits his team could have suffered a defeat following a flurry of attacks from their hosts but is happy with the way the defenders played.
