‘Nothing can describe this feeling!’ – Twitter reacts as Kenya stage comeback to stun Tanzania

Kenya pulled off one of the great comebacks in their history to dim Tanzania 3-2 in a Group C match at the Africa Cup of Nations finals on Thursday.

The Harambee Stars needed goals from Michael Olunga, who grabbed a brace, and Johanna Omollo to beat their East African neighbours 3-2 in the entertaining derby played at the 30 June Stadium.

The Taifa Stars had taken a deserved lead courtesy of Simon Msuva after Kenyan goalkeeper Patrick Matasi had parried a Mbwana Samatta shot back into the danger area, before Kenya moved level courtesy of Olunga’s bicycle-kick from inside the box.
