The 2002 CECAFA senior challenge cup that was won by Kenya had some of the most exciting moments in Kenyan football that have stayed relevant ever since.
Kenya won the final by three goals to two despite having to come from a goal down twice during the proceedings.
The first half was finished on level terms after Tanzania took an early lead that was cancelled almost immediately by a pressing Kenyan side.
It was Emmanuel Gabriaf who broke the deadlock on 28 minutes when he fired home from close range after a lacklustre defending from the Kenyan side.
Kenya midfielder Paul Oyuga equalized just two minutes later as the sides put upon entertaining finale to the first half that was justifiably finished level.
The two sides had almost similar chances and showed a considerable zeal and zest to win the fixture.
On the hour mark, Mecky Maxime put Tanzania ahead again and meant Kenya had to toil even more to come back into the tie and eventually win it.
The Taifa Stars could however not guard their territories to protect their advantage and conceded almost immediately and in a similar fashion to the first half equalizer.
John Baraza slotted home when Kenya got Tanzania unawares on the counter after their foiled attacking move.
17-year-old Dennis Oliech then scored that sent the crowds into a delirium to deliver the trophy to Kenya.
The goal won the wunderkind the golden boot as it was his fifth which was enough to give him the accolade.
Kenya has not been able to translate the regional success to other major tournaments like the Africa Cup of Nations or the world cup.
