The game was very tough because Mauritania showed that they are a good team in this tournament and they play fast and entertaining football. We analysed them from how we saw them play their first two matches and we knew they press high and the only way to beat them was to play the balls directly to our strikers. It worked well because we put them under pressure.
Uganda s Aziz Kayondo, who won the man of the match award, explained how they planned to tackle Mauritania despite the fact they knew it was not going to be an easy adventure.
