Weekend to forget for Anyembe as Viborg falls to Copenhagen in Denmark

Harambee Stars defender Daniel Anyembe had a weekend to forget after his side Viborg lost 2-1 away to FC Copenhagen in a Danish top-tier game played at the Parken Stadium on Sunday.

Anyembe, who made his Stars debut last month in the friendly match against Iran, was in Viborg’s starting team that fell to Copenhagen.

He was withdrawn in the 73rd minute for Oliver Bundgaard as Viborg sought to commit numbers forward and collect maximum points.

Mohamed Daramy gave the host the lead barely ten minutes into the game after William Clem put him through.
