Wanyama suffers humiliating defeat as Odada gets victory in Denmark

Several Kenyan players featured for their clubs over the weekend with their various teams recording mixed results.

The highlight of the weekend for the Stars Abroad segment was Victor Wanyama's side throwing away a two-goal lead as they eventually succumbed to a dramatic 4-3 defeat against Chicago Fire.

During the Sunday morning match, the former Harambee Stars skipper was forced to watch from the bench for all 90 minutes as his side suffered the first defeat of the season.

Wanyama's CF Montreal was well ahead in the game before Chicago came from behind with three goals in 15 minutes, including two in second-half stoppage time to earn their first win of the season at Soldier Field.

In the tenth minute, the referee pointed to the spot again and Coccaro converted his second penalty kick of the match.

Maren Haile-Selassie struck just before halftime to make the score 2-1 and cut into Montréal’s lead. Chicago came back rejuvenated in the second half but Montréal put a third in the net, midfielder Brian Gutiérrez grabbing a second for Chicago after converting from the penalty spot in the 84th minute.
