Kenya failed to beat lowly-ranked Chad in a goalless draw, raising fresh questions about Benni McCarthy’s tactics and direction.
Yani tunda-draw na Chad? Hii ni disaster, not just disappointment. How does a team like Kenya, full of youthful talent and guided by a UEFA Champions League winner fail to beat a side ranked 177th in the world?
Chad! A team whose talisman Ezechiel Ndouassel has been leading the line since flip phones were the latest tech.

Benni McCarthy Made to Wait for First Harambee Stars Win as Wasteful Kenya Fail to Breach Chad
Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy watched his side waste a number of opportunities to draw against Chad in their friendly match in Marrakech, Morocco on Saturday.
PAY ATTENTION: Stay updated with the Latest Sports News in Kenya from Pulse Sports
Let us paint the picture clearly. Kenya had flair, pace, chances — and zero goals. The match in Marrakech felt more like a warm-up than a competitive friendly, and honestly, if Benni McCarthy’s plan was to bore Chad into submission, even that failed.
The Harambee Stars were all over Chad in the first half. Boniface Muchiri was cooking defenders like Sunday stew. Time and again, he served up gourmet chances to William Lenkupae.
But Lenkupae? Yaani, he was on a personal mission to miss every single chance. At one point, he was one-on-one with the keeper, the goal was gaping — and he aimed for the desert dunes. That was not a miss, that was a disasterclass.
And it is not like Chad’s defence was rock solid. No sir. They had Noubara Felix and Haroun Abakar, guys who looked like they were brought in straight from a veterans' match. Still, they stood strong — or more accurately, stood still — and we still could not breach them.

Harambee Stars Assistant Gives Local-Based Players Tips to Make Benni McCarthy's Final CHAN 2024 Squad
Harambee Stars assistant coach Anthony 'Modo' Kimani has sent an inspirational message to local based players who were overlooked for the side's two friendly games agaisnt Chad in Morocco ahead of the upcoming 2024 CHAN.
McCarthy’s substitutions were also confusing at best. Bringing on Austin Odhiambo for creativity was a logical move. But when things stayed flat, his answer was to throw in David Sakwa, Ben Stanley, and Emmanuel Osoro like dice in a casino. Hope for the best, seemed to be the game plan. Spoiler alert: It did not work.
Meanwhile, Chad had their moments. Mahamat Thiam nearly made us pay, slicing through our defence like he was prime Drogba. It took a last-gasp hand from goalkeeper Brian Bwire to keep the score even. If we are being honest, Chad had actual chances. They did not park the bus — they pushed it forward occasionally, and almost ran us over.
Now let us not forget: Chad’s football program has had more turbulence than a budget airline. FIFA suspensions, disbanded federations, budget issues — they have been through it all.
But on Saturday, they looked organized, disciplined, and most importantly — not beaten. They started 37-year-old Ndouassel up front, who is probably older than half our squad’s combined international caps, and still, we had no answers.

Harambee Stars Player Ratings vs Chad: Who Impressed And Dissapointed For Benni McCarthy's Men in the Stalemate?
Abud Omar and William Lenkupae shone brightest in a defensively solid but goalless outing for Harambee Stars against Chad.
Kenya, on the other hand, under Benni McCarthy’s short reign, has played three matches.
Lost to Gabon, drew with The Gambia, and now — tunda-draw na Chad. Where’s the progress? Where is the philosophy? At the moment, we have got vibes, misplaced tactics and missed sitters.
We cannot afford to be rebuilding forever. McCarthy needs to quickly figure out whether he is crafting a team or just recycling lineups. Because with the return leg coming on Tuesday, if we do not beat Chad, we will not just be embarrassed — we will be internationally unserious.
