Sangoro said they will change and train their penalty takers to avoid repeating
mistakes in their final must-win matches.
"We
only lost by three goals and we gave away a lot of penalty kicks which could
have won us the match, "said Sangoro.
The squad
has been in camp for only a week to prepare for the continental tourney which
consist of Under 20 and Under 18.

their country and playing in a lot of International tournaments contributed to
their good performance.

have a very competitive league back at home and the boys have been together for
a long time playing these kinds of competitions."
