What you need to know:

  • The blooper tainted Odada’s return to the national team after he had missed Harambee Stars’ five previous matches.
  • It was Kenya’s third ever match against a European nation after encounters with Switzerland against whom Kenya drew 0-0 in 1983.



Harambee Stars marked their debut in the Fifa Series against Estonia on Friday night at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali, Rwanda, with the return of a pleasantly familiar sight and penalty shootout heartbreak.

Ryan Ogam, who plies his trade for AC Wolfsberger in Austria, ended a three-match goal drought for Harambee Stars as Kenya drew 1-1 with the northern European country in what was the first ever meeting between the two countries.
