Kenya Takes Third Place at the CAF U-17 Girls Tournament
An exciting climax to the CAF U-17 Girls Tournament in Dar es Salaam, as Kenya clinches third place with a 2-0 victory.
«Polissya» failed to secure a win over lower-table team «Kolos», facing a stubborn opponent.
For the second consecutive match, «Polissya» is unable to prevail against a team from the lower standings. Whereas the game against «Leviy Bereg» could be seen as bad luck, this situation now suggests a pattern.
That said, «Kolos» earned their draw and might have surprised many with a victory. The first half belonged to the team from Kovalivka, who successfully penetrated the opponent's defense. One of these chances resulted in a goal—Veletin was left unmarked in the box and calmly sent the ball into the net after a corner kick.
This season, «Polissya» frequently awakens in the second half, and this match was no exception. Eventually, the hosts managed to equalize the score thanks to Nazarenco, who skillfully outplayed his opponent on the left wing and delivered a precise cross, finished by Gutsulyak into a draw.
Despite continuing to attack, «Polissya» unexpectedly lost momentum and handed over control to «Kolos» for the remainder of the game. The hosts lacked energy for a final push, resulting in a logical draw that provides plenty of material for coach Imad Ashur to reflect on.
