EXCLUSIVE: Kenya Edge Past Morocco to Top CHAN Group A
Kenya secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Morocco in their final African Nations Championship (CHAN) Group A match played on 10 August 2025. The decisive moment came in the 42nd minute when R. Ogam found the back of the net, giving Kenya the lead just before halftime. The goal lifted the atmosphere inside the stadium, as the hosts showed determination and tactical discipline to protect their advantage for the remainder of the game.
The match was fiercely contested, with both teams creating opportunities, but it took a dramatic turn late in the first half. In the fourth minute of added time before the break, Morocco’s C. Erambo was sent off after a foul, leaving the North Africans with 10 men. Kenya looked set to extend their lead in the second half when they were awarded a penalty in the 56th minute, but after a VAR check, the decision was overturned, much to Morocco’s relief. Despite the setback, Kenya continued to defend with resilience while looking dangerous on the counterattack.
In the final stages, Morocco pushed forward in search of an equalizer, but Kenya’s backline held firm, with disciplined defending and crucial interventions. Tempers flared in the 84th minute when Morocco’s M. Harrar was booked for an argument, reflecting the high tension of the match. After seven minutes of stoppage time in the second half, the referee’s whistle confirmed Kenya’s hard-fought win. The result means Kenya finishes top of Group A with 7 points from three matches, while Morocco, who still have a game in hand, remain on 3 points and must now secure a result in their final group fixture to progress.
