Harambee Stars winger Adam Wilson grabbed a decisive assist to help Koln claim a vital 2.Bundesliga win over Kaiserslautern.
Harambee Stars prospect Linton Maina played a pivotal role as FC Koln edged Kaiserslautern 1-0 at the Fritz Walter Stadion.
Maina provided the decisive assist, delivering a perfectly placed free kick in the 33rd minute, which Austria’s Dejan Ljubicic headed into the net. The 25-year-old’s influence on the game was slightly marred by a late yellow card for roughing, but Koln secured their third consecutive win to maintain their lead in the 2. Bundesliga standings with 31 points from 17 matches.

Odada featured as Dundee United frustrated Brendan Rodgers' Celtic to a draw, while Zak Vyner could not help Bristol City avoid defeat to West Brom.
