Afcon 2021 Qualifiers: Harambee Stars deserved to win against Egypt – Kimanzi

Harambee Stars coach Francis Kimanzi has insisted his side deserved to return home with maximum points from their Africa Cup of Nations opener against Egypt on Thursday night.

The Kenyans managed to secure a 1-1 draw against the Pharaohs in their Group G opener staged at Borg El Arab Stadium, with striker Michael Olunga cancelling out Mahmoud Kahraba’s goal for the home side.

The former Mathare United coach, who took over the mantle of handing the side after the sacking of French coach Sebastien Migne, believes his team played well beyond everyone’s expectations and they deserved to win in the North African country.
