Kenya's soccer team Harambee Stars came up short against Gabon yesterday, losing 2-1 in an exciting World Cup qualifying match. Former Arsenal player Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gave Gabon the lead early, scoring just 16 minutes into the game. He added another goal from a penalty kick right after halftime, putting his team ahead by two goals.
Kenya fought back when team captain Michael Olunga found the net, but they couldn't catch up completely. This victory pushed Gabon to the top spot in Group F with 15 points. Ivory Coast sits in second place with 13 points. Kenya remains stuck in fourth position with only 6 points to show from their matches.
The stadium buzzed with energy as fans packed the seats completely - something that hasn't happened for a Kenyan home game in more than six years. Many important people watched from the stands, including President William Ruto and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Every single ticket had been bought by noon on Saturday, showing how excited fans felt about this match.
The Football Kenya Federation had asked citizens to fill the stadium to support their national team. After seeing the amazing response, FKF posted a thank-you message on X, saying all tickets were gone. They encouraged everyone with tickets to wear red, black, and green and cheer loudly because fan support might help the team play better on the field.
