What you need to know:

  • Cameroon defeated Kenya 4-1 and 1-0 respectively. But with Harambee Stars having held just a single warm-up session on Thursday before they departed for Juba, it was expected that they would struggle against the hosts.
  • Firat had on Saturday protested Caf’s decision to have Kenya take part in the qualifiers, yet they have qualified automatically.

Harambee Stars coach Engin Firat’s woes deepened Sunday after his team lost 2-0 to hosts South Sudan in the first leg of the first round of the 2024 African Nations Championship (Chan) qualifiers.

The match was played at Juba International Stadium. After a hard-fought, scoreless first half, South Sudan’s Bright Stars broke the deadlock in the 50th minute through Ezibon Malish.
