Uganda Cranes twice recovered from a goal down to draw with Ghana in an International Friendly played in Morocco on Tuesday evening.

During the post-match press conference, Uganda Cranes head Paul Put praised the boys for the character and spirit shown in the game against Ghana.

“I am happy with the result because we played one of the strongest teams in Africa so I think the players made a good performance,” he stated.

“But we must not be blind for a tournament like World Cup qualifiers. We conceded two goals again today so we have to learn so that it does not happen in June because if it happens in June then it’s hard to come back,” he added.

Having lost 4-0 to Comoros, the gaffer revealed there is visible progress and he hopes the team can still get better.

“I think there is progress but also still a lot of work to do. I hope to recover injured players for the game in June because we had to change a lot so it’s not that easy,” he concluded.

With just four games in charge, Uganda has greatly improved in a number of aspects. First, it was very hard to see a Cranes side play four to five organised passes but also the boys are pressing well and that hardly allows the opponent’s backline to have any liberty of starting play from the back.
