Senegal was better team- Koto

 Senegalese care taker coach Joseph Koto was furious about the result his team registered in the 2014 World Cup qualifier against Uganda in Namboole. Uganda got a late equalizer through Godfery Walusimbi in the 86 minute after his skipper Papiss Demba Cisse has grabbed a first lead.

“I think that all people see that Senegal was better in the field than the Ugandan team today.” “But the problem in Africa many times you get such problems,” said Koto

. Koto was also disappointed about the chances his team wasted after out competing Uganda in all areas.

“Today we lost our chance because we had many chance to score but we didn’t score,” “When you don’t score the referee will give away such penalties and you lose your chance,” he added. Senegal lead group J with four point Uganda and Senegal 1 all with Liberia zero, and Koto thought they would stretch the lead.

“When we came here we came to win because we know that we have a better team our Professional players are some of the best in the world. “Many people thought that when we came here we came for a draw abut we didn’t.” About the contested penalty that was won by Geoffrey Massa and later converted by Walusimbi, Koto was sure it was no penalty.

“Everyone saw that it was no penalty but no problem, the competition will continue and in the return leg we will see who is better.”
