In the finals of this year’s Council for East and Central Africa Football Association (CECAFA) played at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos County yesterday, Kenya’s Harambee Stars took on a determined Zanzibar team that saw the home team emerge victorious with a 3-2 penalty shootout score.
That win was what the home team needed to restore public confidence in it after years of lacklustre performance. Indeed, the home team has been doing poorly, earning it lowly ranking on the FIFA index.
