Victor Wanyama suffers back-to-back heartbreaks at CF Montreal
Former Harambee Stars captain Victor Wanyama will watch the MLS playoffs from home for the second straight year after CF Montreal crashed out in heartbreaking fashion.
However, nine minutes from time, Yunus Akgun got past two defenders before firing home for 4-2 and even though Johan Larsson scored a third goal for Elfsborg, it was too little too late.
Ouma, however, left the pitch with his head held high after a 72 per cent pass accuracy, having won four of his nine duels while managing three interceptions.
The Kenyan international also had 13 recoveries in an energetic midfield performance that contributed in keeping Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen quiet.
