Afcon 2019: I feel very proud to have saved Sadio Mane penalty – Patrick Matasi

Kenyan goalkeeper Patrick Matasi admits he was left on cloud nine after saving a penalty from Senegal star Sadio Mane.

The Saint George keeper dived the right away to save from the Liverpool winger, but that save was not enough to deny Mane as he scored from a second spot kick awarded later in the match as Senegal beat Kenya 3-0 in their final Group C match at the Africa Cup of Nations finals.

Speaking exclusively to Goal after Harambee Stars returned home in the wee hours of Thursday morning following the exit from the competition, Matasi said he is 'proud' for stopping a penalty from a Uefa Champions League winner.
