‘It’s never over till it’s over! – Twitter reacts as Harambee Stars fall to Algeria in Afcon opener

Harambee Stars will face Tanzania on Thursday hoping to secure maximum points to stand a chance of advancing from Group C

Kenya's Harambee Stars started their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations campaign on a low note after falling to a 2-0 defeat against Algeria on Sunday night.

Coach Sebastien Migne was forced into making changes in the starting line-up, bringing in youngster Joseph Okumu in central defence in place of Joash Onyango, who picked up a toe injury in training on Saturday.

Ayub Timbe was also given a chance on the right wing, with Johanna Omollo dropping out, as Eric Johanna took the creative role while Francis Kahata moved to the left wing.
