Match Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First Half \u2013 Ogam\u2019s Golden Moment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The game started with Morocco pushing forward aggressively, but Kenya\u2019s defense, led by Brian Omija<\/strong> and David Sakwa<\/strong>, stood firm. In the 23rd minute<\/strong>, Moroccan forward Ayoub El Kaabi<\/strong> went down in a challenge with Alain Mouloua<\/strong> and required treatment, briefly halting play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenya took control soon after, and in the 42nd minute<\/strong>, Rodgers Ogam<\/strong> found the net with a composed finish, putting the Harambee Stars ahead 1-0. The stadium erupted as Kenya gained momentum heading into halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second Half \u2013 Tactical Discipline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Morocco made triple substitutions at the start of the second half, bringing in Bougrine<\/strong>, Mehri<\/strong>, and Onyango<\/strong> to inject energy into their play. However, Kenya remained disciplined, making smart substitutions of their own to keep the midfield fresh and the defense watertight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key injuries to Brian Omija<\/strong> and Abdul Omar<\/strong> forced further changes, but Kenya\u2019s depth shone through. Morocco pushed for an equalizer, but the Harambee Stars held on, with goalkeeper Caleb Erambo<\/strong> making crucial saves.,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
