NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 12 – Kenya’s journey to a second consecutive Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament encountered speed bumps, playing to a third consecutive draw with a 1-1 result at home against 10-man Comoros at the Kasarani Stadium on Wednesday night.
The result leaves Kenya with three points and a serious threat to their hope of qualification unless they muster a victory away from home on Sunday when they play the islanders in the return fixture.
Stars endured a frustrating night at Kasarani, playing completely off form in the first half and improving in the second, only to see chance after chance failing to hit the back of the net.
