Kenyans experienced heartbreak as the Harambee Stars lost to Madagascar in a penalty shootout, ending their African Nations Championship (Chan) semi-final hopes. The atmosphere at Kasarani Stadium shifted drastically from initial jubilation after Alphonce Omija scored, to despair following Madagascar's equalizer and the decisive final kick.

• Harambee Stars goalkeeper Byrne Omondi missed the decisive ball.
• The match equalizer for Madagascar came from Fenohasina Gilles in the 69th minute from a penalty.
• Ticket-less fans were prevented from nearing the stadium, with security measures enhanced after previous incidents, including a Kenya vs. Morocco clash.
• Deputy President Kithure Kindiki was among the dignitaries who watched the match.
• Players were motivated by President William Ruto's pledge of Sh2.5 million per victory per player.
