Harambee Stars succumbed to 1 - 0 lose to Mozambique on Sunday Kasarani in a build-up match to the 2021 AFCON qualifiers against Egypt slated for next month.
Stars would rue for missed chance as they failed to crack past Mozambique wall, thanks to the man of the match shot-stopper Frengue Pedro who stood tall on the goal for the Os Mambas.
Striker Michael Olunga lacked the sucker punch while Captain Victor Wanyama and the team-mates played scintillating football only that they lacked the Midas touch upfront.
Stars began on a high note as Clifton Miheso tested Frengue Pedro on opening minutes before Olunga towered his shot with only goalie to beat.
The Japan-based striker was at it again this time sending a scintillating revolver that was parried of by Pedro for a corner.
With Mozambique beginning to find their rhythm, Olunga lost footage in a one-on-one situation as he failed to hit past Pedro.
Muquissone Luis should have put the visitors ahead only for him to hit feeble shit at Shikalo.
The second half saw Stars pick from where they had left only that they lacked the killer touch even as chances went begging.
Substitute Jesse Were who came in for Kenneth Muguna on 63rd minutes could not help as he also blew a clear chance with the goalkeeper to beat after a Mozambique defensive confusion.
Then came the moment of heartbreak for the home crowd on 69th minute when Joseph Okumu lapse saw Canhembe Amancio snatch him the ball before rounding off Stars defence to bury the ball in the far end of the post to put Os Mambas ahead.
The game ended 1-0 in favour of the visitors.
