Kenya and Namibia played out a goalless draw in their final 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, South Africa, on Tuesday, November 19. Both teams had already been eliminated from Group J contention, rendering the clash a formality.
The encounter lacked spark and left fans in attendance with little to cheer about. The first half saw a flurry of missed chances, with Kenya coming closest to breaking the deadlock. Richard Odada narrowly missed the target in the seventh minute with a header from a corner. Alfred Scriven followed suit nine minutes later, failing to find the net with his header, and Johnstone Omurwa added to the frustrations with a glancing effort that skimmed past the post in the 19th minute.
