Kenya Clinches Cecafa Challenge Cup

The Harambee Stars of Kenya has won the Cecafa Challenge Cup by beating Sudan 2 - 0 in the final in Nairobi.

Allan Wanga, the captain who plays his club football with AFC Leopards, put Kenya ahead at the 35th minute of the encounter, when he headed David Owino crossing into the net.

The Sudanese were playing very well, infact the tournament highest goal scorer, Ibrahim Salah was a thorn in the flesh of the host defence.


Though the Sudanese were threatening to even the scoreline, it was Allan Wanga, who once again at the 69th minute scored, making it 2 - 0, and that was how the match ended.

After the match, the hero of the day told the media, that he was very happy to have scored three goals in the East African tournament. He had earlier scored a goal in a match before the final.

''I am so happy to score three goals in the tournament and lead Harambee Stars to victory,'' he said euphorically.

Zambia took the third position after bettering Tanzania 6 - 5 in a penalty shoutout. Both teams played a 1 - 1 draw after the stoppage time.
