Africa-Press – Kenya. Kenya blew away Seychelles in Nairobi to record their biggest win of the campaign and keep themselves in the conversation behind the front two.
Ryan Ogam set the tone with a sharp finish inside seven minutes before centre-back Charles Sichenje doubled the lead on 35 minutes from a set piece.
Ogam struck again three minutes later and Michael Olunga converted a penalty in first-half added time to make it four at the break.
Olunga swept in a fifth on 67 minutes to cap a dominant display.The result lifted Kenya to nine points from eight matches.
They remain behind leaders Côte d’Ivoire on 19 and second-placed Gabon on 18, but the margin to third-placed Burundi (10) narrows with two fixtures to come in March.
Seychelles remain winless. For Kenya, the manner of victory — clean sheet, clinical finishing and control — gives Benni McCarthy’s side a dose of momentum ahead of a daunting finish that will likely require perfection and help elsewhere.
