Harambee Stars Player Ratings vs Gabon: Richard Odada shines but who disappointed for Benni McCarthy’s men?

Why Benni McCarthy's choice of Harambee Stars continues to illicit mixed feelings in South Africa
South Africans continue to send mixed signals regarding Benni McCarthy' appointment as Harambee Stars coach.
“We have drafted over 40 players from Nairobi, but we are yet to call up players from teams like Shabana, Bandari, and other regions. We are assessing players in bits.” stated Babu on February 28 as reported by Pulse Sports following the naming of his preliminary squad.
With weeks of preparation under their belts, the squad is expected to be in peak form by the time they take on Sierra Leone in their opening fixture.
Babu will be hoping his young charges can rise to the occasion and secure a historic qualification for the U-20 World Cup.
