Cecafa U23 Cup: Kenya trounce Dijbouti as Uganda held by DR Congo
Kenya’s Emerging Stars registered a winning start in the 2021 Cecafa U23 Cup after beating Djibouti 3-0 at Bahir Dar, in Ethiopia on Sunday.
It was Ulinzi Stars striker John Njuguna who scored the opener for Kenya in the 11th minute before goals from Reagan Otieno and Benson Omalla, in the 64th and 88th minutes, respectively, gave the team a good start in the tournament.
Coach Stanley Okumbi was elated with the positive start but was disappointed not to win by a bigger margin.
“We have won…yes, but I think we could have scored more,” Okumbi told Goal.
