Uganda head coach Paul Put expressed delight after watching his side dismantle Mozambique 4-0 in a World Cup qualifier at Mandela National Stadium, but also voiced frustration at the turnout.
The Belgian tactician praised his players for bouncing back from their first-leg defeat to the same opponent.
“I told my players that people were waiting for revenge, and today they showed what football is. We created many chances and kept the pressure on Mozambique. 4-0 is a great result and I am very happy,” Put said.
Despite the emphatic scoreline, the coach admitted he was surprised by the empty seats at Namboole.
“I was a little bit disappointed because I expected a full stadium. For the next game, please come out and support your boys, because the road is still long. But I have to congratulate my players—we did a marvellous job today,” he added.
Uganda now turn attention to Monday’s home tie against Somalia, where Put will be hoping both his players and fans deliver.
