Can Kenya build on Black Stars success?

The Harambee Stars defeated Ghana for the first time in 15 years, but will it be a false dawn?

COMMENT

Kenya coach Sebastien Migne sounded a note of caution after his Harambee Stars secured a first ever competitive victory over Ghana in Saturday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

Nicolas Opoku’s 40th-minute own goal condemned the Black Stars to their first defeat by the East Africans since 2003, and also boosted Kenya’s prospects of reaching a first Afcon since 2004.

However, Migne wasn’t getting carried away.

“If you think today we beat Ghana and we are at the same level, I am very sorry, but we are very far away from the top level,” the Frenchman told journalists.
