But it was Burundi who created the early chances. Dangerman Laudit Mavugo came close to giving them the lead in the 13th minute, only for his free-kick to hit cross-bar, with the Kenyan keeper well beaten Minutes later Kenyan defender Musa Mohammed nearly gave away a penalty when he brought down the speedy Burundian midfielder Tresor Ndikumana inside the box, only to be flagged offside.
