"We played well in Mbale, but lady luck simply wasn't by our side. It was terrible to lose like that in the very last minute of the game, but that is football," Amagu told the press.
"However, if we continue like this, we're on a good path and shall win our upcoming games."
"I always ask my team to put on a good performance that they will be proud of when they come off the pitch. I am very confident we shall do the same against YMCA, and this time we shall win," Amagu added.
