All Africa Games qualifier
Today, 4pm
Tanzania (1) v Uganda (2)
UPHOLD your discipline and keep in mind the rewards of a decent result in the intimidating National stadium in Dar es Salaam.
That will probably be Uganda Kobs head coach Bobby Williamson’s straightforward pre-match message before unleashing his youthful charges ahead of today’s All Africa Games second leg qualifier against Tanzania’s Manyara Stars.
The talk has been done, promises been made and time has come for this U-23 side to justify reason of progressing to the next stages of the continental competition.
If Kobs had not been so wasteful in their first leg meeting against a Manyara Stars side that was there for the taking, Williamson’s side could have afforded to sit back.
With the game delicately poised at 2-1, the Kobs just cannot afford that luxury.
In front of over a 50,000 crowd, Kobs togetherness, the desire to accept the ball in the tightest of situations, with colleagues always making space to help out will be extremely fundamental.
The pain in the Manyara Stars will still stem from the experienced Ngassa.
Kobs will need a draw or better still victory to guarantee progress in the next stages.
