Senegal thrash Kenya 8–0 in International Friendly /SCREENGRAB

Kenya suffered a heavy defeat on Tuesday after losing 8–0 to Senegal in a FIFA international friendly match.

The game saw Harambee Stars struggle against a dominant Senegalese side.

Kenya created moments of effort but failed to break through, while Senegal maintained control throughout the match.

The result marks one of Kenya’s toughest outings in recent friendly fixtures.

The game was played at Mardan Stadium, Turkey.

On Friday, Harambee Stars lost 1-0 to Equatorial Guinea in a friendly match in Antalya, Turkey.

Jose Miranda scored for Equatorial Guinea from a penalty just before halftime, sending Kenya’s goalkeeper Byrne Omondi the wrong way.

Earlier, Jonah Ayunga had a great chance to give Harambee Stars the lead, but his shot was brilliantly saved by Jesus Lazaro Owono.

In the second half, Harambee Stars played better and had more possession, but they struggled to create clear chances.

Substitute Ovella Ochieng’ added more speed to the attack, and his cross hit a Guinean defender’s arm, but the referee didn’t award a penalty.

Another substitute, Austine Odhiambo, had a good chance to equalize in the 80th minute, but his shot went over the bar after a pass from Rooney Onyango.
