A splendid second half performance by Kenya led them to the win against a tough Chinese Taipei side that tested the dexterity of the Kenyan attacking pressure in the first half, but succumbed to the relentless attacks in the second half, conceding four goals. <\/p>\n
Kenya tried to break the Chinese Taipei defence early on but the Asian side held them at bay with initiating counter attacks of their own. In the 20th<\/sup> minute, Kenya missed a chance from close range to ahead and six minutes later it was their opponents, Chinese Taipei that failed to get the most out of a defensive error.<\/p>\n Both teams went into the tunnel on level pegging as the scoreline read 0-0.<\/p>\n Changing over, Kenya attacked with a rejuvenated will. And in the 52nd<\/sup> minute, Odhiambo Dennis broke the deadlock when his rasping shot went inside the Chinese Taipei net after a tacky play around the box to make the scoreline read 1-0.<\/p>\n Two minutes later, Jockins Atudo doubled Kenya\u2019s lead from the penalty spot after the Harambee Stars were awarded the spot kick for a foul by Chinese Taipei.<\/p>\n Under five minutes, Kenya changed the complexion of the game and hunted for the third goal. In the 69th<\/sup>minute, Timothy Otieno broke free of the Chinese Taipei defence line and slotted home to make it 3-0 for Kenya.<\/p>\n Kenya pressed to add more gloss to the scoreline and added another in the 87th minute but failed to add more to their tally as the full-time scoreline read 4-0 in their favour. The Harmbee Stars will now clash with hosts India in the final of the Hero Intercontinental Cup on June 10, 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kenya booked their berth in the final of the Hero Intercontinental Cup, after the Harambee Stars defeated Chinese Taipei 4-0 at the Andheri Sports Complex in Mumbai, Maharashtra on June 08, 2018.
