Kenya imeandika historia tena! . The Junior Starlets have secured qualification to the FIFA U17 Women's World Cup for the second consecutive time after defeating South Africa 3-1 at a packed Nyayo National Stadium on Sunday.
Licha ya South Africa kufunga mapema kupitia Katlebo Malehana, the Kenyan girls staged a brilliant second-half comeback. Gaudancia Makokha equalized before Brenda Awuor converted a late penalty, while substitute Elizabeth Opiyo sealed the victory with the third goal.
The result gave Kenya a dominant 5-1 aggregate win, booking their place at the FIFA U17 Women's World Cup in Morocco.
Coach Mildred Cheche praised her players for their resilience, akisema walionyesha maturity na determination baada ya halftime despite the early pressure. She added that the team's next target is to go beyond the group stage and achieve an even better World Cup campaign.
Hongera Junior Starlets! Kenya continues to shine on the international football stage.
