World Cup Qualifier: 'Half of Kenya not prepared vs Mali' - Omollo

Former Kenya international Sammy Omollo believes half of the team was not prepared to play Mali in the 2022 World Cup qualifier.

The East Africans fell 5-0 against the Eagles on Thursday night 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.

Substitute Farouk Shikhalo completed the miserable night with an own goal after an intelligent work by Moussa Doumbia.

'We got it wrong from the start'

"Looking from the way Stars were playing, we got it wrong from the start," Omollo told Goal on Monday.
