Harambee Stars opened their African Nations Championship journey with a hard-fought 1-0 win over DR Congo at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani. Coach Benni McCarthy credited the team’s passionate supporters the “twelfth man” for lifting the players’ performance. He also highlighted a tactical gamble: deploying Manzur Suleiman in midfield, which disrupted the opposition’s game plan. Looking ahead, McCarthy warns that the next match against Angola will be even more challenging, but the team is buoyed by strong fan support and government backing.
