Afcon 2019: Kenya prepared well but fell short - Wanyama

Harambee Stars captain Victor Wanyama has admitted the team fell short of expectations during the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) tournament in Egypt.

Kenya were eliminated after losing to Algeria and Senegal in the group stage. They managed to beat Cecafa rivals Taifa Stars of Tanzania 3-2, but South Africa's superior goal difference moved them ahead in the third-place ranks. As a result, Stars went home early after failing to reach the knockout rounds.

"The Federation did a good job as they planned everything concerning the preparations for Afcon well and we have no complaints at all.
