The two nations used the friendly to gauge their preparedness ahead of the Afcon finals, set to start on June 21 in Egypt

Victor Wanyama struck from the penalty spot as Harambee Stars registered a slim 1-0 win over Madagascar in a friendly played on Friday night.

The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder rose for the occasion in the second half to coolly convert past the Madagascar keeper, in the friendly which saw keeper Patrick Matasi save a penalty in the first half to keep Kenya in the game.

The East African nation started the match on a low note, resorting to defend and attack in numbers. It was a tactic that gave the opponents more time on the ball and could have been punished in the first half.
