STARS ABROAD: Ouma bags win as Harper, Scriven stumble

Harambee Stars defender Eric Ouma was in action Saturday afternoon as his side, AIK, secured a 1-0 victory over Mjallby in a home game played at the Friends Arena.

The left back was involved for the entire 90 minutes in the fixture, making a decent comeback after he was substituted off at halftime in the 1 October game against Hacken.

Anton Salestros was the man who settled the tie early on, as he rifled in a freekick from more than 20 yards away from goal in the 20th minute.

The win for AIK, their first this month, lifted them up two places to 11th, with 31 points accumulated.

Elsewhere in England, new Harambee Stars recruit Vincent Harper was a starter for Exeter City as they went down 0-1 to visitors Barnsley in an EFL League One fixture played at St. James Park.

The left-wing back, whose inclusion in Kenya’s friendly against Russia later this month is yet to be made official, was deployed on the right side of a four-man midfield and played for 70 minutes before he was hooked off for substitute Yanic Wildschut.

Saturday was his fifth consecutive involvement for Gary Caldwell’s squad, albeit with one win.

Exeter are 11th on the log with 16 points from 12 matches.

Meanwhile in Norway, Harambee Stars forward Alfred Scriven played the entire 90 minutes for IL Hodd as they succumbed to a 0-1 home loss to Kristiansund.

The loss was their 13th in 26 league matches and saw them drop to 15th place on the log, just nine points ahead of bottom-placed Skeid.
