Afcon 2019: Sebastien Migne explains why he brought in John Avire for Kenya

Kenyan coach Sebastien Migne has revealed the reason he opted for a first-half substitution during their 3-2 win against Tanzania in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Harambee Stars were struggling shortly before the halfway stage of the East African derby when coach Migne decided to pull out Gor Mahia midfielder Francis Kahata for young Sofapaka striker John Avire.

The move left many Kenyan asking questions as they thought Kahata had more experience to play in such a big match but Harambee Stars French coach has explained to Goal why he opted for the change.
