Nairobi — AFC Leopards striker Elvis Rupia was the hero for Harambee Stars as the Kenyan side edged out South Sudan 1-0 in a friendly match played at the Nyayo National Stadium on Saturday.
The first half was rather cagey with both sides failing to score to see both sides share a 0-0 draw.
After the breather, attempts by Harambee Stars to get the lead bore fruit following Danson Chetambe’s timely cross to Elvis Rupia who netted a goal in the 77th minute.
Stars held on to the lead up until the final whistle giving them a 1-0 win against South Sudan.
Up next is the second friendly against Tanzania on Monday, March 15 at the Nyayo Stadium, starting at 3pm.
