Uganda coach Milutin Sredojevic says his side can build on their impressive 1-1 draw to qualify for their first Africa Cup of Nations finals in 37 years.

The Cranes put up a brilliant display to earn a point on their visit to the Baba Yara Stadium in their opening 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

Tony Mawejje had given Uganda the lead on the stroke of half time but Ghana leveled through Andre Ayew courtesy a controversial penalty early on in the second department.

Sredojevic, affectionately called Micho, believes his side have taken a bold step to pick up one of the slots for Morocco 2015.

“Getting one point is boost of morale but you cannot talk but there are still five matches to go,” the Serbian said in a post-match interview.

“Long road to go and strongly hope with the spirit we are having, with the hard work of the boys, with motivation and everything that we shall try our best and make Ugandans happy. 37 years they haven’t seen Africa Cup of Nations.”
