Kenya coach Sebastien Migne has admitted that his side were stricken with fear during their Africa Cup of Nations opener against Algeria on Sunday.
First half strikes from Baghdad Bounedjah and Riyad Mahrez condemned the Harambee Stars to a 2-0 defeat in the Group C fixture against the Desert Foxes in Cairo.

Migne’s men tried to reduce the deficit in the second half, but all efforts proved futile, and the coach disclosed that his team lacked the fighting spirit to halt the onslaught from the 1990 African champions.
