Kenya had not beaten Tanzania prior to the Monday’s meet. The two met in the final two years ago in Uganda with Tanzania winning 2-1.
Tanzania has never lost a game against Kenya:
Kenya 1-1 Tanzania
Kenya 1-2 Tanzania
Tanzania 1-1 Kenya
Tanzania ?-? KenyaDue to experience, Kilimanjaro Queens came into the tournament as most people’s pick and they are slight favorites to beat a youthful Kenyan squad.
