'The players only earn Ksh.750 a day!' McDonald Mariga decries Harambee Stars players’ welfare
Mariga has revealed that the Football Kenya Federation owes him a lot of money, giving an example of how he had to cater for both his and Ismael Gonzalez’s traveling and accommodation expenses to honor a Harambee Stars game once.
After the break, VfL had the first chance again. But then, as if out of nowhere, Koln restored parity.
Florian Kainz executed a pass to the left wing, finding Maina, before the Kenyan whipped in a cross towards Davie Selke to slot it home and make it 1-1 in the 54th minute.
After that, both teams still had opportunities to put them into the lead, with a long-range shot from Jan Thielmann being the closest for FC Koln.
Bochum had the better opportunities but could not make them count and in the end, both sides would have to settle for a draw.
