Harambee Stars Make Valuable Step In International Friendly
On Wednesday at the Cote D’Or National Sports Complex in Mauritius, the Harambee Stars defeated Pakistan 1-0 to start their Four-Nations competition.
After five minutes, David ‘Cheche’ Ochieng nearly scored with a header from a corner. When given a clear shot inside the box, the Kenya Police defender was in the ideal position but failed to effectively connect with the ball.
Kakamega Homeboyz striker Shumah, who was making his first appearance, made his presence known by scoring Kenya’s first goal after 17 minutes to repay the faith shown in him.
A long ball was played into the Pakistani box and was poorly handled, and the Homeboyz striker pounced on it at the near post while going unmarked.
In the second half, Akumu also nearly made it 2-0 in the 60th minute when he shot just wide against the flow of play.
Olunga should have scored after 72 minutes when he connected nicely with a cross in the area, but the goalkeeper stopped his well-placed effort.
Kenya will play host Mauritius in their second and last game on Sunday after arriving in St. Pierre on Monday, two days later than anticipated.
