In the second half Uganda introduced Sadra  Nabweteme, who was a thorn in the Sudanese back line when she bagged a hat trick.

But the Sudanese came on the second half an improved side and forced the hosts to go  defensive for minutes.

Ugandan coach Edward Kaziba said that the game was good for the home team but they didn’t get the challenge they expected.

“Sudan are not a good team. They have just started playing the game, but a game is game we saw some mistakes which we are going to work on before we play Egypt  in the next round.”

He also added that the team now have to train so hard ahead of their encounter against Egypt. “Egypt know how to pass and are very fast, so we need to work on the midfield and have a 4-4-2 formation to stop them,” he added

Sudan coach Pater James Wani said that the game was good despite losing  to Uganda aggregate 22-0. “I think we lost to an experienced side. They have played the game for years,  they had good players compared to ours,” James said.
