Harambee Stars ended their four-nation tournament on a losing note after a 1-0  defeat against Mauritius on Sunday.

Kengy Saramandiff's 22nd minute goal was all that Les Dodos, who are ranked 180 in the world according to the latest Fifa rankings, needed to defeat the Michael Olunga-captained Stars.

Kenya, ranked 102, failed to replicate their form at the  Cote D'Or National Sports Complex in Port Lous.

Kenya claimed a 1-0 hard-fought victory over Pakistan on Wednesday.

Saramandiff's goal came from a corner that was delivered by Kevin Bru. Goalkeeper Bryne Omondi failed to deal with the weak header, handing the midfielder the easiest of task to poke home from close range.

Gor Mahia  top striker Benso Omalla was finally handed his debut and replaced Kakamega Homeboyz's Moses Shummah.
