Our coach had to make us understand the need to be decisive and calm down. We followed his instructions and played without nativity." He said.

Makanjuola has been pivotal to the success of the team so far scoring in both legs of the qualifier against Tanzania.

He scored the only goal in the 1-1 draw in Dar es Salaam a week ago and sealed the win on Saturday from the spot in the 2-0 win.
