Though national team Harambee Stars have already bowed out of the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers, defender Eric ‘Marcelo’ Ouma says they must play for pride against Uganda in their Group B return leg match at St Mary’s Kitende Stadium, Kampala tomorrow.

Having been in the Kenyan squad that suffered a humiliating 6-0 defeat on aggregate (5-0 and 0-1) in last month’s encounter against Mali that consequently shattered their dreams to Qatar, the AIK Fotboll full back feels the East African derby presents them a perfect opportunity to redeem themselves.
