“A win will be good for Kenya, but a draw won’t be bad. The important thing is for the team to have a winning mentality,” he said.
Mariga is among five foreign based players who travelled with the team for the crucial tie which might determine their destiny in the event.

Other professionals in the team includes French club AJ Auxere striker Denis Oliech and Swedish-based Robert Mambo. The team is handled by Twahir Muhiddin.
