Kenya start Cecafa Cup defence with win against Tanzania
Kenya have defeated Tanzania by a solitary goal to move top of Group B in the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup.
Coach Francis Kimanzi had come into the match hoping to get his first win, since his appointment, after failing to do so in the past four games in all competitions. Having drawn three times and lost once, the former Mathare United coach knew a win was vital against a side that eliminated them from the Chan qualifiers.
The defending champions started the match brightly and it took them just four minutes to show they mean business when Bandari FC forward Abdallah Hassan raced clear, before slotting the goal past Aishi Manula in Taifa Stars goal.
