We dominated possession and had very many chances on goal only that we didn\u2019t score. But statistics don\u2019t win games. Goals do so this is something we need to work on,\u201d UMU coach Eric Kisuze said<\/p>\n<p>Kisuze said although it will be more difficult this season, he is confident that Uganda Martyrs will not only make it past the group stage but go all the way.<\/p>\n<p>Uganda Martyrs has for the last 5 consecutive seasons made it past the group stage to the semi-final stage of the Pepsi University Football League losing the final in 2015 but lifting the trophy in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo achieve our target as a team we have to go past the group stage only that it is harder this time round.
