“We instructed the players to commit themselves fully to our game plan, which revolved around counterattacks, and I’m pleased it paid off.”
The tactician also emphasized the importance of utilizing speed, given their fast-paced players. “Amaku Tusubiira are all quick players, and I knew we had to exploit that advantage.”
Fred Amaku, the forward, secured a brace, while Mohammed Shaban scored a consolation goal for the home side.
