After the 2-1 loss to Ethiopia in the international friendly, Coach Micho began by saying that in football, one either wins, or they learn a lesson.

“We had a very important game against Ethiopia where we had to check the level of our players after a few days of training sessions,” he said to the media.

For Ethiopia, Nasir Abubeker and Abel Yelew scored in either half. Yunus Sentamu, the Uganda Premier League top scorer from the 2020-21 season with Vipers Sports Club got Uganda Cranes consolation.

The Serbian tactician acknowledged that such a competitive match was worth it for Uganda.

“The match of this magnitude is better than thirty training sessions. The benefit of this game, we shall plan for the game coming ahead of us (Kenya). We shall go to the match against Kenya to compete and win,” he revealed.

He congratulated Ethiopia upon their victory and further thanked them for being good hosts. Coach Micho also congratulated them upon qualifying for the Africa Cup of Nations.
