Former Kenyan national team player Fred Arocho said that the Russian team punished Kenyan players for mistakes in defense in a friendly match.
The meeting took place on Monday in Turkey and ended with a score of 2:2. Ivan Oblyakov saved the Russian team from defeat in the 89th minute.
— I believed before the game that the Kenyan team could win, and it almost happened. This is a good lesson for our team, playing against such a strong opponent can give a lot of experience. It’s nice that our team was not afraid and fought very well. It’s a big day for Team Kenya.
— Can you single out anyone in the Russian team?
— No, I didn’t see any players in the team who stood out. The Russian national team is strong in team play and player interaction. We only made a few mistakes in defense, and the Russian team punished us for this,” Euro-Futbol.Ru quotes Arocho as saying.
