Francis Kimanzi maintains Kenya U-23 will advance to the second round

Kenya U-23 national team head coach Francis Kimanzi believes his charges can overturn the result against Sudan and qualify for the second round of the Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers.

Kenya suffered a 2-0 defeat away in Khartoum and despite the daunting task awaiting them in the return leg, coach Kimanzi has refused to write off their chances.

The coach is confident of a positive result ahead of the return leg clash set for the Kasarani Stadium and insists they were unlucky to lose in Sudan.
“We still have a chance on Tuesday in spite of the two-goal deficit and I am confident that we’ll get a positive result.
