Belgium born coach Paul Put has played down the pressure on his team to perform and he believes they have all it takes to do the bare minimum and qualify for the semis. He says,
“I believe we shall go all the way, we created enough chances in the previous game but we were unlucky not to have taken all the points. It is going to be tougher against Tanzania but we have to win. “
Tanzania are already eliminated having managed to pick only one point from their last 3 games.
The Harambe Stars are likely to face Uganda in the Semi finals should they manage to beat Tanzania.
The Harambee stars starting XI
Patrick Matasi (GK), Musa Mohammed (C), Jockins Atudo, Dennis Sikhayi, Wesley Onguso, Ernest Wendo, Patillah Omotto, Vincent Oburu, Chrispin Oduor, Ovella Ochieng, George Odhiambo
