Benni Left 'Stressed' & 'Unhappy' After Kenya Debut

Benni Left 'Stressed' & 'Unhappy' After Kenya Debut

New Kenya coach Benni McCarthy was left feeling 'stressed' and 'unhappy' starting his reign with a 3-3 draw against Gambia.

The Harambee Stars fought back on two occasions to rescue a point on Thursday evening in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

The point is not ideal for both nations, as Kenya now sit six points behind league leaders Gabon.

"The draw does not help us or Gambia, but I will take it because we earned it against a team that has been together longer than us," McCarthy said, as per PanAfricanFootball.

"We had only one training session before this game, and my players are still learning to play together. We showed great fighting spirit.

"This was a match both teams wanted to win badly.

"Not winning leaves me stressed and unhappy. However, for the neutral, it was an entertaining game. You don't see many like this in FIFA World Cup qualifiers"
