Abdallah Hassan sparkles in Harambee Stars player ratings

Harambee Stars ended their 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers campaign on a high by picking up their first win, defeating Togo 2-1 with goals from Abdallah Hassan and Masud Juma. Here are our player ratings.

James Saruni (GK) - 5

The Ulinzi Stars skipper did not have much to do but made outstanding saves from two headers in the second half and could do little to keep out the penalty that ruined his clean sheet.

Daniel Sakari - 5

Had another solid game defensively but gave away a number of needless fouls in the second half, his second-half display was better.

Nahashon Alemi - 4

The KCB centre back could have done himself a world of good with some little composure especially in the first half when he hooked the ball to safely often when he could have built up play from the back.

Clyde Senaji - 6

The midfielder slotted into defence once again as he has done for AFC Leopards and had a decent game considering he had little time to prepare mentally for the game as he was a late inclusion to the side.

Eric Ouma - 5

Despite giving away a penalty late in the second half with an unfortunate handball, the left-back had another outstanding game but did not attack as much as he did against Egypt. 

Duncan Otieno - 6

The Lusaka Dynamos midfielder did a great job mopping up the midfield and was part of the reason why Togo looked average as he stifled their midfield.

Duke Abuya - 7

Played a little deeper and was part of the double pivot in midfield alongside Ducan. The Nkana FC player was acted as a deep-lying playmaker and linked up well with Kevin Kimani. 

Kevin Kimani - 5

The Veteran midfielder had a decent game stringing a plethora of sumptuous passes especially in the first half that the Togo defence found hard to contain. He was however withdrawn earlier on in the second half for Cliff Nyakeya.

Abdallah Hassan - 9

The Bandari FC midfielder has been in scintillating form for the National Team and continued from where he left from against Egypt by bagging a goal in the 32nd minutes with a nonchalant chip over the keeper.

Clifton Miheso - 8

Despite not hitting his stride in the Egypt clash, Clifton Miheso displayed form that earned him a call up with two assists and a goal against Bidco United. The Gor Mahia midfielder shredded the Togo defence one razor-sharp pass that found Hassan who did justice to the pass with a calm finish.

Masud Juma - 8

Elected the skipper for the day, Masud did a decent job in leading the line with his outstanding hold-up play and won a penalty in the 65th minute and held his nerve when he stepped up to take it by doubling Kenya's lead.
