What you need to know:

  • The Kenyan team lost 3-0 to Morocco’s Wydad Casablanca, and 1-0 to Maniema Union from the Democratic Republic of Congo in November.
  • On Sunday, there was a glimmer of hope that the host would keep alive their slim quarter-finals dreams after they took the lead in the 13th minute.

Kenya’s Nairobi United are all but out of the running at this season’s CAF Confederation Cup after losing their third consecutive group match on Sunday. 

Nairobi, nicknamed “Naibois”, fell 2-1 to Tanzania’s Azam in their Group “B” match at Nyayo National Stadium.
