‘No keeper could save it’ – ‘Ghost’ defends Kenya’s Origi after Comoros goal

Harambee Stars coach Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee has come out to defend goalkeeper Arnold Origi following the goal he conceded against Comoros in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Wednesday.

Kenya conceded a comical goal from a free-kick after M'changama Youssouf's well-taken effort evaded Kenya’s static wall and found its way into the net leaving, keeper Origi rooted to the ground without moving as Kenya conceded their third goal in the qualifiers.

With Covid-19 restricting fans to watch the game on TV, many felt Origi, who was making a comeback to the team after five years out, should have done much better to save the ball from hitting the back of the net.
