Kenyan coach Sebastien Migne has admitted that midfielder Francis Kahata struggled against Tanzania but insisted his early substitution was a tactical one.
The Gor Mahia star was not at his best as Harambee Stars lost 2-0 to Algeria in the Group C opener and on Thursday, and he was substituted with few minutes left to half-time as Kenya went on to beat Tanzania 3-2 in the East African derby.
“It was a tactical change, not against Kahata, I proved it was one of my best players since I’m here in the country,” Migne told Goal in an interview.
