Uganda Crested Cranes coach Majidah Nantanda will need to use her second game at the CECAFA Women Championship on Tuesday to disprove critics who believe her choice of players was the reason Kenya easily beat them in the opening game on Sunday.

Kenya Harambee Starlets subjected Uganda to a 4-0 humiliation at the FUFA Technical Center Njeru and fans and some officials close to women football in Uganda blamed it on Nantanda's tactical approach especially in the midfield.

Nantanda chose to pack the midfield with fragile players. Physical and more tactical Kenya Harambee Starlets easily broke through easily.

Uganda faces Zanzibar on Tuesday which suffered more humiliation -a 10-1 defeat at the hands of Burundi.

Anything less than a positive result for Uganda against a helpless Zanzibar will equal to mortification.

Uganda Crested Cranes captain, Christine Wanyana is optimistic they will correct mistakes they had against Kenya and win the match.
