‘The only good news in Kenya’ – Twitter reacts as Harambee Stars beat Togo

Kenyans have expressed their happiness after the national team Harambee Stars beat Togo 2-1 in their final group match of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in Lome on Monday.

Despite failing to make it to the Afcon finals to be held in Cameroon, the Harambee Stars under coach Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee finished the Group G qualifiers on a high after goals from Hassan Abdallah and striker Masoud Juma helped them to sink the Sparrowhawks at Kegue Stadium.

The result which was the first away win for Kenya in 18 years, was also achieved minus key players - striker Michael Olunga, goalkeeper Ian Otieno, defender Joash Onyango and midfielder Lawrence Juma - who reportedly tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of the dead rubber.
