Solitary goal from Caleb Ekuban dimmed Harambee Stars lost to their hosts Ghana in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations last match qualifier in Accra, Ghana yesterday.
The 83rd minute strike guided Black Stars to top pool F with nine points as Kenya remains in second with seven points. The win means the two teams will travel to Egypt for the continental championships in June. Kenyan Goal keeper Patrick Matasi gifted Ghanians the goal from Ekuban left foot shot that slipped through his arms before finding the back of the net.
