Kimanzi: Zambia gave Kenya real test but ‘we passed despite our fitness level’

The former Mathare United tactician takes positives from the build-up match, saying his side was deprived of match fitness but prevailed nevertheless

Harambee Stars coach Francis Kimanzi has admitted he was worried about the fitness levels of his charges heading into the friendly against Zambia, which they won 2-1.

Cliff Nyakeya's strike and an own goal by Tandi Mwape handed Francis Kimanzi’s side the victory while a late goal by Emmanuel Chabula denied the East Africans a home clean sheet at the newly refurbished Nyayo Stadium.

“It’s a great game for us,” Kimanzi is quoted by Standard Sports.
