Kenya’s Harambee Stars
put up a sterling performance to beat Ethiopia 2-0 in their final Group
A match to enter the quarter-finals of the Orange Cecefa Senior Challenge
Cup at the Nairobi’s Nyayo Stadium on Saturday.
Goals from John Baraza and Allan Wanga sealed the three points for the dominant Stars.
In Mumias Town, what was expected to be a walk in the park for Uganda in their final Orange Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup group “C” tie against Zanzibar turned out to be cracker, with the islanders refusing to lie down.
Eventually, the defending champions settled for a 0-0 draw, but managed to top the group on seven points, with Tanzania finishing second on six.
Zanzibar have four, while Burundi finished without a point. Seleiman Kassim thought he had profited with a close-range volley a minute from time, only for Godfrey Wahab to deny him.
Uganda’s head coach, Bobby Williamson might grumble, although Zanzibar was just about worthy of a point.
“We enjoyed our match and we now look forward to our quarterfinal match on Monday. We don’t fear any team and after this point, we need to play three more matches (quarterfinal-final),” Uganda’s coach Bobby Williamson told the Daily Nation.
Zambia topped Group A with maximum nine points and Kenya, who finished second on six, will face Uganda in the quarters. Group B winners Rwanda advance to the next round together with Eritrea after they completed the preliminary round with nine and four points each.
Champions Uganda and Tanzania went through the preliminaries in Group C that was staged in Mumias.
Zimbabwe of Group ‘B’ and Zanzibar (Group C) squeezed through as the best losers to join the other six teams in the quarter-finals.
