‘Comoros will give everything to qualify’ – coach Abdou on Africa Cup of Nations ambition

Coach Amir Abdou has pledged that Comoros will do "everything" to qualify for the 2022 African Cup of Nations.

The Island nation’s dream of a first ever appearance at the biennial football showpiece got a major boost on Sunday evening after defeating Kenya 2-1 at the Stade Omnisports de Malouzini.

Le Coelacantes took the lead after 23 minutes after an unmarked El Fardou Ben headed past a stranded goalkeeper Arnold Origi.

The visiting Harambee Stars levelled matter in the 36 minutes courtesy of a low shot inside the box by Cliff Nyakeya.
