Tusker FC winger Boniface Muchiri insists there is no point in playing good football without a win.
The Football Kenya Federation Premier League champions gave their best in the first leg of the Caf Champions League second round but fell to a solitary goal courtesy of Achraf Bencharki.
The hosts had several chances to get at least a goal but did not capitalise on them. With the second leg set for October 22, the Harambee Star is optimistic of an improved showing in terms of results.
"We are happy to be here in Egypt and highly motivated, with an aim of giving our best on Friday to get a positive result," Macharia told Goal.
"Everybody is happy and encouraged by the many positive things we have seen in camp. Hopefully, we will maintain the same morale that we have been having ahead of the game.
