World Cup Qualifier: 'Blame me for disastrous result away to Mali' - Kenya coach Firat

Harambee Stars coach Engin Firat has taken full responsibility after a disastrous outing in the 2022 World Cup qualifier away to Mali, when the Kenya national team suffered a humiliating 5-0 defeat in Group E.

At Agadir Stadium in Morocco, a disastrous start saw Kenya concede four goals in the first half. Ibrahima Kone, who until then had not scored for the senior team, grabbed a hat-trick with another goal coming from Adama Traore.

It was Firat's first game in charge after being appointed by the Football Kenya Federation to take over from Jacob 'Ghost' Mulee.
