The Comoros have never been so close to a historic first participation in CAN! This Sunday, the Coelacanths won against Kenya (2-1) in their Stade de Malouzini on the occasion of the 4e playoff day and this success almost opens the doors to the final phase!
First in the lead thanks to a goal from El Fardou Ben Mohamed (21e), Amir Abdou’s men conceded the equalizer by Cliff Nyakaya before half-time (36e). But the young AC Ajaccio striker, Faiz Mattoir (20), who honored his second selection, then signed a winning breakthrough on the right side and allowed his country to return to the lead when he returned from the locker room (49e) !
Despite the assaults of the Harambee Stars, which they had held in check on the outside in the first leg (1-1), the Comorians then resisted until the end. They will only need one point on the next day at home against Togo in March 2021 to validate their ticket!
The classification of group G: Comoros 8 points, Egypt 5 pts (one match less), Kenya 3 pts, Togo 1 pt (one match less)
The goal of Mattoir in video
Comoros second goal netted by Faiz Mattoir. Who’s to blame here? Harambee stars leeky defense? The porous midfield or the old man Arnold Origi between the stick?
