Kenya dominated the entire match, but were undone by striker Tiwa Milong’s goal in the 13th minute from a corner kick.
Junior Starlets dominated the second half with the introduction of Mitshel Waithera for Valencia in attack, but couldn’t score.
Stung by numerous missed chances in their 1-0 loss to Cameroon on Sunday in the 2025 Fifa Under-17 Women’s World Cup qualifiers, Kenya’s coach Mildred Cheche is out to sharpen the team’s striking force ahead of Friday’s return leg fixture at Olembe Stadium in Yaounde.
The return leg match will be played from 7pm (Kenyan time), with the aggregate winner qualifying for 2025 Fifa Under-17 Women’s World Cup that will be played in Cameroon from October 16 to November 3.
