This was Kenya's second defeat after they lost 5-0 to defending champions South Africa in their opening match on Sunday evening. The second loss also puts Kenya in a precarious position as they chase a ticket to next year's World Cup. Kenya returned for the second half with a 1-0 lead and defended well, hanging on to their slim advantage into the final period. Umaru converted another penalty corner three minutes later to subject Kenya to their second loss. It was once again a bad day for Kenya as the men's team was not spared either, losing 4-1 to Egypt.
