keep up the good work ager

 

[DJ Ager]

7' Kenya start well and get a corner which is headed well by Mwalala but easily saved from a good position

24' GOAL! Out of the blue, Berbatov controls and volleys the cross brilliantly, with their first chance of the game for an unlucky Kenya

32' RED CARD! A straight red for a late reckless trip from behind from Iliev is warranted a red card

33' GOAL! Kenya surprise Bulgaria from the free kick by passing instead of shooting from a great position and Mwalala capitalises to draw level for Kenya

42' Mwalala is sent through and is only denied by a great save by Zdrakov

HALF TIME: BUL 1 - 1 KEN: A decent game which Kenya deserve to be level in, and to be honest, unlucky not to be ahead

Kenya are not just good at cricket they are good at soccer too

GO KENYA!!!

 

[DJ Ager]

52' RED CARD! Mambo-Mumba, the catalyst for the first goal, cancels out Kenya's numerical advantage by tripping late from behind

52' Berbatov sees his long range free kick go narrowly over

65' S. Petrov forces a good save from the keeper as Bulgaria start to put pressure on Kenya

70' A powerful shot by Bojinov is saved well by Otieno and the ball is eventually cleared

79' Berbatov goes through but Oteino saves well on the angle and the rebound just misses the following up Bojinov

84' It is seems like Bulgaria are destined to score when a great cross by M.Petrov is met by a superb Bojinov header, but the ball hits the base of the post and the scrambling Otieno manages to gather, as Kenya look to hold on to a famous draw

FULL TIME: BUL 1 - 1 KEN: And Kenya manage to hold onto a famous draw, desrved despite Bulgaria's late pressure as they will see this game as two points dropped
