The national U20 side's tactician also explained why missed chances affected them big during the showdown.
"I think they thought our opponents were weak then it later proved to be a strong team so we missed a lot of chances. Had we scored all those chances you wouldn’t have seen us struggling," he added.
"But I think we shall insist on teaching the players on how to overcome such situations and also overcome big games."
The coach hopes they will be able to correct the mistakes witnessed in the first leg, when facing Nyamityobora on Saturday.
"But all in all the second leg will judge who will go through and we hope to rectify our mistakes when we head into the return leg in Mbarara," the tactician, who was appointed to succeed his former boss Mike Mutebi, affirmed.
