Kenya's Harambee Stars captain Victor Wanyama has earned praise from fans after his impressive performance in a 1-1 draw against Egypt in an Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier on November 14, 2019.
Wanyama's midfield display was particularly notable, with many praising his efforts on social media. One fan tweeted, 'Good game....motm Victor wanyama.'
However, not everyone was impressed with Wanyama's performance, with some suggesting that he overworked himself and that the team's defense failed him at times. One fan tweeted, 'Wanyama overworked himself, he even played deeper as a defender, he was alert but defense failed him sometimes, maybe this is not premier league but Poch must think again before he decides to dispose #HarambeeStars #AFCON2021Q #EGYKEN.'
Despite the mixed opinions, Wanyama's performance was widely praised, with many fans expressing their admiration for his skills on the pitch. One fan tweeted, 'Have you seen Wanyama vs Egypt today you can think he had always been playing...fantastic.'
Kenya's Harambee Stars now have limited time to recover before their next fixture against Togo on Monday, November 18, 2019. A win for Stars on Monday night will put them in a pole position to secure a ticket to the 2021 continental finals in Cameroon for a the second time in a row ahead of next year's away fixture to Comoros and home to Egypt.
