Cecafa Challenge Cup: Uganda must not underrate Somalia - McKinstry

Ugandan coach Johnny McKinstry has warned his charges to be wary of Somalia when the two sides clash in a Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup match on Monday.

The Cranes won their Group A opener after upsetting Burundi 2-1 and a win against Somalia will seal their place in the semi-finals of the competition.

Against Burundi, the Cranes who are also the record champions (14 titles) of the regional tournament, saw Bright Anukani and Fahad Bayo score in the eighth and 21 minutes, respectively. Cedric Rurasenga scored a consolation goal for Burundi in the 60th minute.
