Musa Otieno AlgeriaAlgiers0-1 1982 world cup hero, Ali Fergani was Algeria's
coach and had dismissed Kenya saying his team had come as tourists and would
stroll over Kenya. But this was a strong Kenya unit with Sammy Omollo, Kwarula,
Francis Oduor and Musa Otieno manning the defence with Anthony Lwanga, Tom Juma
and Allan Odhiambo in midfield while the attack had Motego and Steve Odiaga. It
was a strong team that would have represented Kenya well had the government not
forfeited the chance to host the 1996 cup of nations. Together they made Fergani
eat his words by thrashing Algeria 3-1. In the second leg, coach Vojo Garasevic
and his team battled a hostile home crowd of 50,000 plus a very biased referee
from Tunisia (Sahli Ferid) who awarded the Algerians a dubious penalty, red
carded two Kenya players and cautioned several others and still came away with
an aggregate win. Final Round
