Kenya’s U20 head coach, Anthony Akhulia, has shared his thoughts following his team’s 2-2 draw against Nigeria at the ongoing AFCON U20 tournament, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Despite taking the lead twice during the game, the Rising Stars were unable to hold off the Flying Eagles, who fought back to secure a draw.

Coach Akhulia commended his players for their strong performance and determination.

 “It was a good match and a good show from the team. We've wrapped up the tournament with a 2-2 draw. I believe we played well, even though we conceded a late penalty,” he said.

“The boys gave their all — both in defence and attack. I'm proud of their performance.”

He added, “Even though we're exiting the tournament, the team wanted to finish on a high note, and I think we did just that.”
