Despite the drab encounter against Uganda Cranes that ended in a barren draw, Harambee Stars head coach Jacob Ghost Mulee was left impressed with his side’s display.Kenya picked up a point in their opening Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifier in the Group E encounter but failed to impress with their lacklustre performance.Speaking to the media after the goalless draw against Uganda, Ghost noted that he was delighted with the Harambee Stars performance but not the result and waxed lyrical about Richard Odada.

If you look at the selection you willl notice that we had a few experienced players and emerging players who will help Harambee Stars,” said Ghost.Kenya showed some promise coming into the game after a draw against record African champions Egypt and a win against Togo but flattered to deceive against Uganda.Harambee Stars only mustered two shots on target in the entire game as the attack looked disjointed and Michael Olunga was starved off service which forced him to feed on scraps.Ghost added that his new partnerships in the game which included a debut to Odada, perhaps the only standout performer are yet to weave their magic but will aim for three points against Rwanda on Sunday. A vital away point pocketed. #KENUGA #FIFAWC2022Q #WCQ pic.twitter.com/geEaaz6d7E— Uganda Cranes (@UgandaCranes) September 2, 2021 “We have a big squad and we are yet to gel, I did not see the passes that we are used to, we executed them twice or thrice in the match but I’m happy with the defense they did a commendable job,”“Ugandans had an experienced squad and who have played together for a number of games and played a friendly game against Ethiopia just the other day, every journey starts with a step and today we got a point so we have not lost three points we will go for three against Rwanda,” added Ghost.
