Abuja — Despite losing 3-0 to the Super Eagles, coach of the Harambe Stars, Atoine Hey, said he was happy with the outcome of the match and especially the performance of his boys.

"I am satisfied with the way we played. We prepared for an aggressive start of the game but the goal came after three minutes but we tried to hold on and played the ball well. We knew what to expect here; but we had our own chances about one or two. Now we have to work hard for the must win game at home against Mozambique," Hey said.

Captain of the Harambe Stars, Musa Otieno, corroborated what his coach said, pointing out that the performance of his side showed that there was a future for Kenya's football.

Otieno, who has seen Kenya go down to the Super Eagles on three different occasions in the 12 years he has spent with the Harambe Stars, said, however, that the team has matured over time to be able to face any opposition and come out with a decent result.

"You can see from the way we played that there is a future for Kenyan football. We know the road we are going would not be an easy road and I told the players to believe in themselves," he said.

Compare to their opponents most of whom ply their trade abroad, Otieno pointed out that the visitors had five home-based players in their line up.
