Match Summary Kenya were in control for most of the match. In the 35th minute, Allan Wanga gave them the lead with a thundering header past goalkeeper Abdel Rahman Ali Ibrahim from a David Owino cross. The game remained open for the remainder of the first half and the beginning of the second half, but Wanga stepped forward again to seal the win for the Harambee Stars. In the 69th minute, Wanga beat El Tahir El Haj to get on the end of a low cross from his A.F.C. Leopards teammate James Situma and slot it into the far post. The match, alongside Sudan's quarter-final clash against Ethiopia, produced the highest number of yellow cards in the tournament, with the highlights being Amir Kamal's 44th-minute yellow card for a blatant push on Aboud Omar, who was booked in the 38th minute, and Paul Kiongera's booking just seconds after coming on for Francis Kahata, 4 minutes into added time, for dissent.http://www.futaa.com/football/article/kenya-50-harambee-stars-wins-the-2013-cecafa-senior-challenge-cup Kenya @50; Harambee Stars wins the 2013 CECAFA senior challenge Cup Patrick Korir Futaa.com 12 December 2013 12 December 2013 https://archive.today/20131212182039/http://www.futaa.com/football/article/kenya-50-harambee-stars-wins-the-2013-cecafa-senior-challenge-cup 12 December 2013 dead https://www.radiodabanga.org/node/61546 Kenya victorious over Sudan 2:0 in CECAFA 2013 Radio Dabanga 12 December 2013 12 December 2013 https://archive.today/20131212182049/https://www.radiodabanga.org/node/61546 12 December 2013 dead After the match, Wanga received the Man of the Match award.
