Kenya beat Chad 3:0 at home in the African Championship on Tuesday. Both sides arrived level on points and sitting third, so the result shifted the balance between them. Kenya moved clear while Chad remained winless after three matches.
Kenya's form had been mixed recently. They lost 1:3 to Algeria and 0:3 to Ghana and Tunisia in their last three games before that win against Central African Republic. Chad, meanwhile, had lost their last three straight — 0:3 to Ghana, 0:3 to Nigeria, and 0:3 to Algeria. And here's the thing — they were both struggling, but Kenya found a way to finish the job.
The match itself offered little drama beyond the final scoreline. Kenya took control early and never looked back. Chad could not find a response, and the visitors left with nothing to show for their efforts. By then it was clear this would be another heavy defeat for the hosts.
Both teams now sit on zero points after three games. Kenya have scored three goals and kept a clean sheet, while Chad have conceded nine and failed to score. The table remains tight at the bottom, but Kenya have shown they can take points when it matters.
Chad's run of losses continues to worry supporters. They have lost to Ghana, Nigeria, and Algeria in a row, and this result adds a fourth consecutive defeat. Kenya, by contrast, will take confidence from their first win of the campaign.
