Tanzania crowned Cecafa U20 champions after downing Kenya

Tanzania won the U20 Cecafa Championship after beating neighbours Kenya 1-0 in Saturday's final in Njeru, Uganda.

Tanzania started the game on a high note and needed six minutes to test Brian Bwire in goal. The Rising Stars conceded a free-kick about 35-yards from the goal and Patrick Israel forced the goalkeeper to put away the ball for an unfruitful corner.

Kenya struggled to find their rhythm, lying deep in their half, allowing the opponents to roam and create chances at will.
