Kenya v Zambia Match Report, Oct 09, 2020

The friendly meeting was the first between the two sides since they met five years ago in an Afcon qualifier which ended in a one-all draw

The Harambee Stars shocked Zambia in a 2-1 win at Nyayo National Stadium on Friday during a friendly tie.

Cliff Nyakeya's strike and an own goal by Tandi Mwape handed Francis Kimanzi’s side the victory while a late goal by Emmanuel Chabula denied the East Africans a home clean sheet.

Kenya surprisingly started as the hungrier and dominant side and almost got the opener in the ninth minute through Brian Mandela, whose effort went wide despite being in a good position to finish off with a goal.
