Kenya’s Okumu scores own-goal as KAA Gent suffer Valerenga defeat in Europa Conference League

 The towering Harambee Star committed the mistake after turning the ball into his own net in the 11th minute at Intility Arena

Kenya international Joseph Okumu scored an own-goal as KAA Gent suffered a 2-0 defeat against Valerenga in their 2021-22 Uefa Europa Conference League qualifier on Thursday.

The towering Harambee Star, who was making his second start for the Belgian side after his transfer from Swedish side IF Elfsborg but his first appearance in the European competition, bundled the ball into his own net in the 11th minute before Ivan Nasberg scored the second in the 81st minute.

The 2-0 win was, however, not enough for the Norwegian side as Gent qualified for the second round of the competition on a 4-2 aggregate win, having won the first meeting 4-0.
