Harambee Stars striker Dennis Oliech has revealed how heart-broken he was when Nnamdi Oduamdi scored an injury time equaliser to earn the Super Eagles a point from last Saturday's 2014 World Cup qualifier in Calabar.
.
The Kenyans were on the verge of breaking a 28 year old jinx when Thika United's Francis Kahata curled in a free- kick from 25 yards to give Adel Amrouche's side the lead in the 30th minute and their first goal on Nigerian soil before Oduamadi restored parity for the AFCON champions.
.
Oliech believes his side have Arnold Origi to thank for the plethora of saves he made in the encounter but added that it was a good point earned from home.
.
"It was a tough game and we can't really complain about the point, especially since Nigeria had to fight back with their array of stars," said Oliech.
.
"Nigeria are a side that is currently in good form and I can't really complain about the point but that goal really broke my heart. I don't think the goalkeeper saw it," he joked while checking out of the hotel.
.
Also reacting to the draw was Francis Kahata who believed the Super Eagles won't escape defeat in Nairobi.
.
He said:"We are back in contention for the top spot and we know what is at stake. With what we forced them to play on their home soil, we stand a good chance now," he said.
