Uganda's FA Comfirms Nov. 20 Eagles Tie

...Rohr insists Eagles must beat South Africa to stay top By Admin Super Eagles Manager, Gernot Rohr, is already spoiling for war for the 2019 AFCON qualifying decider against Bafana Bafana of South Africa declaring that his target is to finish top of the group, BSN Sports reports. The German gaffer admitted that winning away in Johannesburg on November 17 would never be an easy task, but stressed that beating South Africa in the match billed for the FNB Stadium was his prime target for taking top spot to the 24-nation tournament which holds from June 15 to July 13, 2019.

But while recounting that Bafana Bafana gave his first defeat in charge of the Eagles back in June 2017, Rohr admited the reverse fixture would be tough to call, but insists getting the job is a task that his players must ne achieved. Rohr said: “We are working very hard to make sure that we get the necessary points in our next match in South Africa. “We know that the match will not be easy but we are working well to make sure our players are in good conditions before the match. “We want to make sure that we don’t lose the match just like what happened in our first match. “We know that a good result in the match will put us at ease before the visit of Seychelles in our last match at home. We want to finish top of the group.” The Super Eagles, which started the race on a stumbling note, had since reasserted themselves on the summit of Group E following a three-match winning run which include a back-to-back wins over Libya and another triumph against Seychelles in September. The three-time Africa champions, who surprising have missed the last two editions, currently sit atop with nine points after four matches and will be away at second-placed South Africa, from which victory in the penultimate round of matches will seal their passage to the tournament with a game to spare.
