After defeating Kenya on Sunday evening, the tactician vowed that Le Coelacantes will do everything to reach the centerpiece of African football
Coach Amir Abdou has promised the Comoros will do “everything” to qualify for the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations.
The island nation’s dream of a first-ever appearance at the biennial football event got a big boost Sunday night after defeating Kenya 2-1 at the Stade Omnisports de Malouzini.
The Coelacantes took the lead 23 minutes after an unmarked El Fardou Ben headed a stranded goalkeeper Arnold Origi.
Visiting Harambee Stars leveled the matter in the 36 minutes with a low shot inside Cliff Nyakeya’s area.
However, the hosts picked up all the points at the expense of Jacob Mulee’s side with the winner Faiz Mattoir four minutes into the second half.

Despite introducing John Avire, Boniface Muchiri, Eric Johannah and Abdallah Hassan to bolster Kenya’s faltering attack, they were unable to take at least one point from Moroni.
Fueled by excitement for his team’s second win in the qualifying series, the tactician took to social media to celebrate the Comoros sweaty victory, while ensuring that all hands would be on the bridge to secure a place in Cameroon 2022. .
Victory! Thanks for your fervor, your messages, you are on top 🤩. Our fight is not over and we will give everything to qualify🙏🏼. A thought to the players who could not be present with us. We are proud to be Comorians. #coelacanthes #Comoros 🇰🇲 #COMKEN pic.twitter.com/mOUMWhapAL

“Victory! Thank you for your fervor and for your messages, we are in this moment. Our fight is not over and we will give everything to qualify. A thought to the players who could not be present with us. We are proud to be Comorians”, Abdou tweeted.
With this recent conquest, the Comoros sit at the top of Group G with eight points from four games pending the outcome of Monday night’s match between Egypt and Mohamed Salah’s Togo.
Should Abdou’s team defeat the Hawks in their next outing on March 22, 2021, they will be guaranteed a first appearance in Afcon.
For Kenya, they must win their last two games to have any chance of honoring the tournament since their 1972 debut.
