Comoros Held to Draw by Kenya in Africa Cup of Nations Qualifier
In their return leg of the Africa Cup of Nations 2015 qualifiers, Comoros managed only a 1-1 draw against Kenya, unable to overturn their 1-0 first-leg deficit suffered in Nairobi.
The match, played on home soil, saw Comoros take the lead shortly after halftime thanks to a direct free-kick from Timbe in the 58th minute. However, Kenya responded quickly to equalize, and the score remained 1-1 until the final whistle.
Tensions flared during the match, with Kenya’s coach, Adel Amrouche, being sent off for protesting a decision.
This campaign marks only the second time Abdallah Kassim and the Comoros national team have competed in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, still searching for their first qualification.
Starting Lineups:
Comoros: Mroivili, Alhadhur, Rachid, Mramboini, Abdallah, Abdou, Bachirou, Mchangama, M’Madi, Ben N.
Kenya: Origi, Owino, Olum, Cheche, Omar, Wanyama, Omolo, Timbe, Kahata, Lavatsa, Wanga.
