Olympic Qualifier: Harambee Starlets beg support from government after beating Ghana

Harambee Starlets captain Dorcas Shikobe has pleaded with the Kenyan government to throw support behind the team after they knocked Ghana out of the Tokyo 202 Olympic Games qualifiers on Tuesday.

The Kenyans progressed to the fourth round of the qualifiers after seeing off the Black Queens on a 1-0 aggregate win. Kenya had managed a 0-0 draw in the first leg played in Accra but returned home to triumph 1-0.

Neither of the two sides could get a goal in the entire 90 minutes, but the Black Queens conceded a penalty in extra time after Justice Tweneboah was adjudged to have handled in the box, which was converted by Gentrix Shikangwa.
