Kenya began the Turkish Women's Cup campaign on a winning note after a 2-0 win over Northern Ireland B on Wednesday.
Second-half strikes from Jentrix Shikangwa and Janet Bundi helped the Africans condemn the European side to a losing start in Alanya.
The 2019 Cecafa Women's Championship winners made an encouraging start to the tie but were forced by the youthful Irish team to a goalless draw in the first half at Starlight Sports Stadium.
After the restart, Shikangwa opened the scoring for the Kenyans in the 61st minute before Bundi sealed the win 15 minutes from time.
