July 2, 2019, marked a disappointing day for the Harambee Stars as they fell to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Senegal in the ongoing AFCON 2019 tournament.
Liverpool ace Sadio Mane was instrumental in the win, scoring a brace that sealed Senegal's spot in the last 16.
Mane had a first-half penalty saved by Kenya goalkeeper Patrick Matasi, but he made no mistake in his second attempt, securing a 2-0 lead for Senegal before the break.
Senegal's Ismaila Sarr opened the scoring, and Mane's second goal ensured a comfortable win for the Lions of Teranga.
