Bafana Bafana legend Benni McCarthy suffered his first defeat in international football after Kenya fell 2-1 against Gabon at Nyayo National Stadium.
The hosts had come into the match hoping to get maximum points to keep alive their hopes of playing in the 2026 Fifa World Cup. However, former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a brace for the visitors with Michael Olunga getting the lone goal for Harambee Stars.
Have a look at what the fans said after the game.
Benni must prove he is a good coach
Benni won't last. The problem is that South African coaches claim to be the best after being lucky on other teams – Bishop Nandos Mapfotlosela
Looks promising but he will be let down by quality. Its up to him to bring out the best of this team. I believe Kenya deserve to be high up there with the best in Africa and Benni has what it takes to take them there – Thulani Raymonds
What a game! Kenya played well. I think Benni will come up with one of the giants in African national team football if given a chance. Go Kenya go – John Hlabangana
As I said, Benni is not ready to coach at the national level because he lacks experience and the latest defeat just proves my point – Sammy Rassie
Benni must prove himself if he is a good coach. It is good to start in Kenya and learn more from the poor football country. Make it, and show them that we are talented in Mzansi – Pule Tsepetsi
Kenyans know nothing about football
His defense is letting him down otherwise they have fighting spirit from 1st minute until the end, he needs time otherwise they'll be fine – Loyiso Lloyd
So other than long-distance runners Kenya also have a football team? Benni must come back home. This is not good for his CV – SG Mctenten
Coaching is not a simple job, but Benni's boys tried to get something from the game. unfortunately, Gabon are a step ahead – Boyce Kawire
Benni is the best and the guy knows how to motivate players. He has not even taken a month of coaching there. So he is going to excel – Jaf Mahl
Kenyans don't know anything about football, Benni Mccarthy should have come to Botswana – Senonnori Binkie Bobejane
