Action for Kenyans in Denmark and USA

The uncapped Harambee Stars duo of Daniel Anyembe and Phillip Mayaka featured for Esbjerg in Denmark and Colorado Springs in the USA respectively.

Daniel Anyembe

Kenyan right-back Daniel Anyembe started for Esbjerg as they returned back to winning ways following their victory against Koge in the Danish 1st Division.

The 22-year-old has been a vital cog in the Esbjerg machine for a number of seasons now since making his debut back in 2016.

Nicklas Jakobsen opened the scoring for Esbjerg in the 25th minute with Pyry Soiri doubling their advantage six minutes later as they went into the halftime break leading 2-0.

Jubril Adedeji pulled one back for Koge in the 58th minute to set up an interesting finish to the game but Esbjerg held on for the three points.

Philip Mayaka

Kenyan midfielder Philip Mayaka made his second consecutive appearance for Colorado Springs in the 1-3 defeat to 10-man New Mexico in the United Soccer League (USL) League One.

Hadji Barry extended his hot scoring streak for Springs as he needed just two minutes to break the deadlock after scoring a brace last time out.

Sergio Rivas equalized for New Mexico six minutes later but the frenetic start to the game fizzled off as both teams went into the halftime break locked in a draw.

Amando Moreno put New Mexico ahead four minutes after the restart with Andrew Tinari being sent off for a second bookable offence.

Mayaka was introduced in the 67th minute for Lamar Batista with New Mexico adding their third in the 93rd minute form Daniel Bruce.
