Kenya's long-awaited return to the Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) ended in disappointment last night after Harambee Starlets were comfortably beaten 4-0 by hosts Morocco in their Group A opener at Stade Prince Moulay Hassan in Rabat.
Making their first appearance at the continental finals in a decade, Beldine Odemba's charges showed early signs of belief and ambition before the tournament favourites took complete control with an impressive attacking display in front of their home supporters.
The result leaves Kenya rooted at the bottom of Group A following Algeria's 2-0 victory over Senegal earlier in the day, piling pressure on the Starlets ahead of Thursday's must-win encounter against the West Africans.
