Speaking after the game Migné said Stars, who were making a return to the tournament after 15 years lacked experience in the match.

“We missed experience in this kind of tournament. I can accept to lose but not in the way we did in the first half. We had too much pressure today because of Algeria’s quality. If you’re afraid, it’s impossible to exist at AFCON,” the Frenchman said.

Kenya will next face neighbors Tanzania on Thursday in a match they must win to keep qualification hopes alive.

Tanzania equally had a foul start in their opener, losing 2-0 to Senegal.
