Kenya striker Michael Olunga believes the time has come for the Harambee Stars to return to the Africa Cup of Nations after shocking the Ghana on Saturday.
The Japan based forward led Kenya stun a star-studded Ghana 1-0 in a 2019 Afcon Group "F" qualifier at Kasarani stadium on Saturday after piling pressure on Ghana defender Nicholas Opoku to score an own goal in an attempt to clear Eric Johanna’s cross.
The East Africans are now level on three points with Ghana after two rounds ahead of back-to-back games against Ethiopia on October 10 and 13.
“I believe time has come for us to make it (back to the Afcon) after years out. Personally I have to work hard and tried to make home fans proud by banging in goals whenever I get the chance,” he said on Sunday after the morning training session at Kenya School of Monetary Studies.
