Guest side Kenya have picked their second win in the on-going Hollywoodsbets COSAFA Cup 2024 in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
Austin Odhiambo and Benson Omalla netted second half goals to ensure Kenya’s Emerging Stars defeated Zimbabwe 2-0 in the Group B match.
Kenya kick started their campaign with a 2-0 win against defending champions Zambia, but suffered a similar 2-0 defeat to Comoros in their second match.
While Comoros have qualified for the semi-final stage after beating Zambia 1-0 in a match played on Tuesday and topping the group, the Kenya Emerging Stars will keep their fingers crossed ahead of tomorrow’s Group C matches, so that they can finish as best runners-up.
Mozambique who topped Group A have also qualified for the semi-finals, while Angola and Namibia each have four points ahead of their last Group C matches on Wednesday.
The tournament that has attracted 12 teams and organized by the Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA) will climax with the final on July 7th, 2024.
The Harambee Stars of Kenya have defeated Zambia 2-0 in their opening Group B match of the on-going Hollywoodbets COSAFA Cup 2024.
Austine Odhiambo and Patrick Otieno netted two first half goals at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
After eight minutes Odhiambo gave Kenya the lead from the spot, while Otieno made it 2-0 midway the first half.
After recess, the defending champions came back determined and dominated possession, but failed to break the Kenyan team made up of mostly U-23 players.
Harambee Stars went top of Group B after the second match saw Zimbabwe beat Comoros 1-0.
Kenya, the only guest side in the competition who took up the place of Malawi who withdrew few days to the tournament will now return to action on June 30th against Comoros, and complete the Group B match against Zimbabwe on July 2nd.
