Kenya 2-1 Tanzania: Hassan, Kapaito down Taifa Stars as Harambee Stars win again

Kenya managed to pick up a 2-1 win over Tanzania in a friendly tie played at Nyayo Stadium on Monday.

Erick Kapaito and Abdalla Hassan scored to ensure the Harambee Stars registered a second consecutive win after beating South Sudan 1-0 in the initial friendly. Ayub Lyanga scored the only goal for the Taifa Stars, who have engaged in their first test game ahead of the upcoming African Cup of Nations qualifiers.

After he was denied by the post in the 16th minute, Kapaito, who is leading the FKF Premier League top scorers' chart with 14 goals, found the back of the net in the 20th minute; his first for the senior national side.
