Wael Gomaa suggested Egypt players fell below the standard of giving their all in Thursday’s 1-1 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Kenya.
Needing at least a draw to qualify for Cameroon 2022, coach Hossam El Badry named a solid XI against the Harambee Stars – who were in dire need of victory to boost their qualification hopes.
They got off to a flying start at the Nyayo National Stadium, taking a second minute lead through Magdi Kafsha who profited from a Mohamed Hany assist – which handed the Egyptians a slim lead into the half-time break.
