Who scored for Harambee Stars against Zambia?
After beating Zambia in their last group match, the Harambee Stars will play Madagascar in the CHAN 2024 quarterfinals.
Despite dominating possession, Kenya was unable to overcome a resolute Zambian defense. But Ryan Ogam's late goal in the second half earned Benni McCarthy's team a much-needed victory.
Harambee Stars wanted to win Group A, while Zambia, who had already been eliminated from the competition, was looking to ruin Kenya's celebration.
President William Ruto and former prime minister Raila Odinga were among those there, and they applauded as Kenya won.
