Kenya’s Harambee Starlets fell to a 2-0 loss against Australia's Matildas in the well-attended final of the 2026 Fifa Women's Series Nairobi group at Nyayo National Stadium on Wednesday evening.

Chelsea striker Sam Kerr opened the scoring in the 25th minute, her tame shot slipping between the hands of Starlets goalkeeper Lilian Awuor, who was distraught after the error. It was Kerr’s second goal that made her the top scorer in the group.
