Afcon Qualifiers: 'Egypt were out of shape vs Kenya' - Wael Gomaa

Egyptian legend Wael Gomaa has claimed the Pharaohs had no shape against Kenya during a 1-1 draw in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Thursday at Kasarani.

Although the African giants qualified for the 2022 finals after snatching a point, they were not assertive against the East Africans who grew into the game, equalised, and saw a goal ruled out after the referee claimed striker Masoud Juma had used his hand to control the ball before smashing it home in the second half.

Egypt took a second-minute lead but ended up losing its dominance as Kenya led by Eric Ouma, Kenneth Muguna, and Abdallah Hassan - the scorer of the equaliser - looked a superior side thereafter.
