Kenya National Football Team, the Harambee Stars, were crowned champions of the inaugural Four Nations Tournament after beating Zimbabwe’s Warriors 3-1 at Bingu National Stadium Tuesday.
It was a match of pure quality and class between the two sides, who were on a two-year ban each until last year.
However, Kenya came from behind to score three goals to win the tournament after Zimbabwe took the lead through Richard Odada’s own goal in the opening two minutes of the match.
But a brace from Michael Olunga ensured Kenya finished the tournament as champions.
He levelled the scores in the 45th minute of the match with a header before netting the second goal in the 62nd minute of the match.

Olunga was not done yet as he completed his hat-trick three minutes to full time.
The third goal was a beauty. He unleashed a powerful left shot which caught goalkeeper Donovan Fungai unawares.
Olunga finished the tournament as the top goal-scorer with five goals in two matches.
Zimbabwe finished second with one win and a defeat.
