Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic, head coach of Uganda Cranes, has said his side regretted spoiling the party for Super Eagles’ centurion Vincent Enyeama.
The East Africans stunned their West African hosts 1-0 in an international friendly clash on Wednesday at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium in Uyo nicknamed the Nest of Champions.
Uganda marksman Faruku Miya's lone saw the Ugandans edge their Nigerian counterparts in an encounter that marked Eagles’ captain and goalkeeper Enyeama’s 100th cap for the senior national team.
Sredojevic said both sides gave a good account of themselves in the encounter but praised his wards for profiting maximally from the lone chance at goal to punish the Nigerians.
“It’s sad we spoiled his party with the victory on a day he is celebrating his 100 caps for the side.
“I congratulate him on his 100 caps for the Eagles as well as wish him well in his future endeavours.
“I think both sides have a great future and gave a good account of themselves in the hotly contested encounter.
“However, I give all the credit for the hard-fought win to the players, they’re really lions for beating the Nigerians.
“I’m happy with the great win as it’ll further boost the players' confidence in the next assignments,” said the coach to supersport.com.
Wednesday’s international friendly victory for Uganda marked the second time the East Africans managed to beat the Nigerians in their own backyard, the first time being in 1981.
