AFCON 2019: Senegal vs Algeria Final Highlights Kenya's Poor Performance in Egypt ¶
Senegal and Algeria are set to face off in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2019, having eliminated the best African nations since the start of their campaign in Group C, in Egypt.
Kenya and Tanzania were the two other teams pooled in the same group as the two finalists.
On Twitter, Kenyans felt that Harambee Stars owed an apology after Senegal and Algeria, the two teams that beat Kenya in the group stage, made it to the AFCON 2019 final.
Journalist Linus Kaikai said, 'It is an Algeria vs Senegal final. The two teams that beat Kenya in group stage. We owe Harambee Stars an apology.'
Some Kenyans said the outstanding performance Senegal and Algeria delivered in their road to the final was adequate proof to show that Kenya was in the group of death.
Kenya's AFCON campaign began with a baptism of fire after the Desert foxes stunned Harambee Stars 2-0.
Later, the Lions of Teranga mauled Sebastien Migne's men 3-0 shattering any hope of entry to the round of 16 as one of the best losers.
Senegal and Algeria lock horns in the final on Friday, July 19 at the Cairo International stadium.
