None of the Kenyans emerged victorious in both games with their respective teams.
“I could not believe it. Even after the game, I still could not believe it. It was an amazing feeling to score on my debut. I started actually believing it when we were on the plane back to Kenya!”
Kenya could not replicate the result against Mauritius, losing by the same goalline four days later. The 20-year-old started that game on the bench in favor of Gor Mahia’s Benson Omala, before getting subbed on as a second-half substitute.

“It was an amazing experience to get there. I did not know that I would find myself in a situation where we would be chasing the game. I tried everything I could to get a goal. We obviously did not win, but we certainly learned from the experience. I am confident we will do well in the future.”
