Afcon 2019: ‘We carry the lessons forward!’ – Kenyans' react after defeat to Senegal

Kenya's hopes of making it to the knockout phase of the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals now hangs in the balance after a resounding 3-0 defeat against Senegal on Monday night.

The East African side had never defeated the West African nation at Afcon, losing twice and drawing once in three previous games.

A double from Liverpool winger Sadio Mane, one from the penalty spot and an opener via Ismaila Sarr, enabled The Lions of Teranga to seal their place in the last 16 alongside Algeria, who hammered Tanzania 3-0 to finish top of the Group on nine points.
