Vihiga United head coach Sammy Okoth believes local-based players made their case as the Harambee Stars held Egypt to a 1-1 draw in the Africa Cup of Nations Group G qualifier on Thursday.
A goal from Mohamed Magdy ensured the Pharaohs joined Comoros from Group G as Togo and Kenya saw their qualifying journeys come to an end. Abdallah Hassan scored the goal that ensured Egypt and Kenya drew 1-1 again.
In the game against the seven-time Afcon champions, Daniel Sakari, Johnstone Omurwa, Kenneth Muguna, Lawrence Juma, and Abdallah Hassan started the match with Nahashon Alembi coming on later.
