It was misery for Harambee Stars on Sunday at the 30 June Stadium in Egypt after losing 2-0 to Algeria in an Africa Cup of Nations Group C encounter.

This was Harambee Stars’ first appearance in the competition in 15 years and Sebastien Migne’s men were looking to extend the superb run of form they had in the qualifiers and preparation friendlies into the continental showpiece.
