Olympic Qualifier: Adam's brace seals Harambee Starlets victory against Malawi

The Harambee Starlets have progressed to the third round of qualification for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games after defeating Malawi 3-0 at Kenyatta Stadium on Sunday.

Mwanalima Adam's brace and a Cynthia Shilwato goal were enough to seal the She-Flames' fate in the second leg tie in Machakos. As a result, Kenya have progressed with a 5-3 aggregate win over the Cosafa nation.

Gentrix Shikangwa's 15th-minute opportunity was Kenya's first chance to open the score after Malawian goalkeeper Samir Amidu and her defenders collided as they vied for the ball.
