Two matches and only one goal scored: the first day of these qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar was not very prolific in Group E. Only Mali, therefore, stood out by dominating Rwanda at Agadir, Morocco (by
decision of CAF
), with a score of 1-0.
Kenya and Uganda remained silent on Thursday.
In Nairobi, the nets did not shake.
The Harambee Stars, at home, lined up a block primarily focused on defense against the Cranes of Uganda.
Despite a tense end of the game, with several cards distributed, the opportunities were not legion, and no team found the opening.
It will take more weight in attack to take off as quickly as possible in
this group E dominated by the Malian Eagles
.
They are also the next opponents of the Ugandans on September 6, while the Kenyans face Rwanda on September 5.
