Afcon 2019: Kenya’s Migne defends Matasi till the end

Retaining the Saint George goalkeeper was one of the French coach’s big decisions, although it remains to be seen if it was a wise decision

Sebastien Migne refused to throw Patrick Matasi under the bus in the aftermath of Kenya’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations defeat at the hands of Senegal in their final group game on Monday.

While the Harambee Stars had been positioned among the better-placed third-placed teams heading into the final matchday, their defensive capitulation against the Teranga Lions ultimately cost them.

Ahead of the final day, Kenya had three points and a -1 goal difference, and would have progressed with a draw against the West Africans.
