Muhammad Posted December 15, 2004 Kenya Beat Somalia The Nation (Nairobi) December 15, 2004 Posted to the web December 14, 2004 Nation Reporter Nairobi Kenya's Harambee Stars ground out a 1-0 win over tournament minnows Somalia in a Group "B" East and Central Africa Challenge Cup soccer match at Addis National Stadium yesterday. The lone goal was scored in the ninth minute by John Baraza. But the expected goal avalanche did not materialise as Somalia held on bravely to contain the highest ranked team in the tournament. Harambee Stars now lie second with four points and must beat Uganda in their last group match on Saturday to guarantee passage to the semi-finals. Earlier at the same venue Sudan climbed to the top of the group after beating defending champions Uganda 2-1 in a high-paced match. Sudan scored either half in a match they always appeared in control. Uganda did look like they were going to salvage the match after they pulled one back in the 83rd minute but their late onslaught failed to yield the decisive breakthrough. It was ample revenge for the Sudanese who, as hosts, were knocked out in the semi-finals of the same competition last year by Uganda. Tanzania take on Burundi Thursday from 4 pm knowing they need to win to keep their chance of qualifying from a tight Group "A" following the opening round of matches. The five-team group has the first four teams bunched up on three points each except Tanzania who have yet to register a win. Burundi narrowly lost to hosts Ethiopia 1-2 but bounced back to shock pre-match favourites Rwanda with an inspired 3-1 win. These results puts them as marginal favourites. Ethiopia and Rwanda play in the second match of the day for a result that will determine who takes leadership of the group. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mojam Posted December 15, 2004 already out of the competition. I'm wondering though if Kenya & Uganda played with their first teams. The ones that are involved in the world cup qualifying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
