What you need to know:

  • Defenders Joseph Okumu and Johnstone Omurwa were also handed starting berths by Firat. The game had a slow start, but Cameroon looked sharper in attack, while Kenya chose to sit back and hit on the break.
  • Cameroon's Moumi Brice set up Malong Pierre, who beat Daniel Anyembe, but failed to find the net with only  Bryne to beat in the 34th minute. 

Kenya's Harambee Stars' chances of qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) were further dented after they lost 1-0 to Cameroon at the Mandela National Stadium in Kampala, Uganda on Monday.

The lone goal in the contest staged behind closed doors was netted by second half substitute Enow Boris in the 63rd minute. Boris scored a long range free kick, which went straight into the net, despite Harambee Stars custodian Bryne Omondi dividing the right side.
