Kenyan jokes tear social media apart after Harambee Stars comical loss

The second half started with the Algerians seemingly taking a gear off their stride, tossing the ball around the pitch with Kenya looking to catch them on the break.

Mehdi Abeid and FC Porto star Yacine Brahimi came in as substitutes for the industrious Adlene Guedioura and Youcef Belaili respectively 20 minutes to full time, with Kenya taking off IF Brommapojkarna’s Eric Johanna Omondi for Cercle Brugge’s Johanna Omollo.

Kenya looked to pounce of Algeria’s recklessness late in the game with Johanna Omondi almost handing the boys a consolation.

With three minutes of added time, Las Palmas midfielder Ismael Gonzalez came in to replace Odhiambo.

The win leaves Algeria on top of Group C with 3 points, level on points with Senegal who beat Tanzania 2-0 in an earlier fixture.

The Lions of Teranga will face the Desert Foxes in the group’s next encounter as Harambee Stars take on East African neighbours Tanzania in three days.

On social media, Kenyans were quick to criticize Harambee Stars style of play, most mocking the country’s economic situation while comparing it to the results of the game.

Here are some of the hilarious comments captured by Game Yetu of Facebook:
