CECAFA
Hosts Kenya into Cecafa Tourney finals with extra-time 1-0 win over Burundi
Harambee Stars have made their way to the finals in the ongoing Cecafa competition.
This was after edging out a resillient Burundi side 1-0 in a semi-final match at the Moi Stadium, Kisumu on Thursday afternoon.
For most part of the match, Burundi fielding a strong squad was the better team creating more chances, but it was the hosts who got luckier as they keep the hunt for a fifth CECAFA crown.
Whyvonne Isuza’s extra-time goal was enough to send the hosts to the final of the tournament and will now face the winner between champions Uganda and Zanzibar.
Kenya will now play the winner of Friday’s semi-final between holders Uganda and Zanzibar in Sunday’s final.
The victory continues a promising start for Kenya’s new Belgian coach Put, who only took charge of the team last month.
