Cecafa Cup: Eritrea and Burundi stop free-scoring Kenya and Tanzania

Harambee Starlets U17 have been forced to a 1-1 draw by Eritrea at the Fufa Technical Centre in Jinja on Wednesday in a Cecafa U17 Challenge Cup tie.

Kenya were forced to register a draw after going down in the 53rd minute before they restored parity in the 77th minute.

Misgana Mehari shocked Harambee Starlets juniors but Sylvia Makungu scored later to ensure Kenya drew for the first time in the regional tournament after a 14-0 win over Djibouti in the opener.

Meanwhile, Tanzania drew 3-3 with Burundi despite taking an early lead in a latter match at the same venue.
