Tanzania coach Emmanuel Amuneke: Egypt gave us a good test ahead of Afcon

Tanzania coach Emmanuel Amuneke believes their friendly game against Egypt provided his side with a good test ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

On Thursday, the Taifa Stars fell to a 1-0 defeat against the Pharaohs in their first preparatory game for the continental tournament, with Ahmed El Mohamady grabbing the solitary goal.

The former Nigeria international believes his side missed a number of scoring opportunities in the game and has vowed to work on the shortcomings before the finals.

“It is a very interesting game, I think we played a side that is very good, very tough, but the good thing is that we were able to present a tougher opposition to them,” Amuneke told TFFTV.
