Masoud Juma 

The striker who was the front man after Michael Olunga was ruled out of the tie scored a bicycle kick to earn Kenya a point.

The Zesco United star will be looking to cement his position in the team after being left out of the previous squads by the previous coaches.

Brian Mandela 

The Absa Premiership defender gave a solid performance at the back, representing absentee Joash Onyango perfectly well. He also played some really nice progressive passes from the back which helped the attack. The center back who currently plays for Mamelodi Sundowns put up a performance that deserves an applause.

Victor Wanyama

The former Tottenham maestro and Harambee Stars skipper had a first half to quickly forget at Kasarani. His performance in the first half was quite wanting and he even gave away a free kick that resulted in a Comoros goal. However, getting into the second half, he put up a decent display and created a couple of scoring opportunities.
