Harambee Stars were beaten 1-0 by Mozambique in a friendly match played at the Moi International SportsCenter Kasarani on Sunday. After a goalless first half, an error at the back midway through the first half was duly punished and Stars could not get a reply in the final minutes of the match.

Below, we look at how each Kenyan player fared in the disappointing loss.

Farouk Shikalo

Looked shaky on crosses and was not commanding enough of his area. Pulled some fantastic saves though esecially in the first half. Maybe he should also have come out quicker for the goal.

Score: 6

Samuel Olwade

To be fair to him, Kenya has been in need of a good right-back for years now. Probably would not be a starter had Philemon Otieno been fit. Decent but clearly not the answer to our right-back question.

Score: 5

Eric Ouma

One of the few bright sparks from the match. Held his own in his defensive third and was his usual marauding self going forward.

Score: 7

Joash Onyango

Really struggling to understands how he keeps getting picked. Slow with and without the ball and not good on one v one situations. Another poor outing for him.

Score: 5

Joseph Okumu

Culpable for the goal we conceded and must eliminate such carelessness. Apart from that, his all-round play was commendable and can pick a pass from back to front quite impressively. Still young but has the potential to be a future star.

Score: 6

Victor Wanyama

Got about his business effectively and calmly.  Almost made a goal with a good cross from the left but Jesse Were skied his shot.

Score: 7

Lawrence Juma

Really impressive from the Gor Mahia midfielder. Didi not hide from the ball and distributed nicely when he had it.

Score: 8

Kenneth Muguna

Was mainly dragged back into the defensive third which left the forwards looking isolated. Did not get into the match at all.

Score: 5

Cliffton Miheso

Barely noticeable.

Score: 4

Cliff Nyakeya

Showed some good flashes of his talent but could not leave an impression on the pitch.

Score: 5

Micheal Olunga

Did not get any service until late on when Stars Were chasing the match. Set up Jesse Were nicely in the second-half but he could not find the target.
