“Sadio Mane is the hardest opponent that I have ever encountered,” Said Brevis Mugabi during an interview with journalists.

“This happened back in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations that happened in Egypt where we lost to Senegal 1-0 in the last 16,” Mugabi added.

Sadio Mane and the Liverpool goal machine scored the only goal during the 15th minute eliminating the Uganda national team The cranes from the tournament.

This was Brevis Mugabi’s debut game on the Uganda cranes national team in a big continental tournament.
