Washington DC - Ethiopia's National Team lost today against host nation Kenya in Nairobi's Nyayo Stadium 2-0. Kenya and Zambia will now move to the next stage while Ethiopia waits to see if it can qualify as the two best qualifiers among the bottom finishers. That outcome depends on Eritrea-Somalia match. Somalia needs to trash Eritrea for Ethiopia to qualify to the quarter finals. Djibouti and Burundi are out of the tournament.
Somalia takes on Eritrea on Saturday in Nairobi, the odds are against Somalia which needs to win by more than 5 net goals to have any chance to qualify. Eritrea needs just a win, a draw or a loss by Eritrea will send Ethiopia to the quarter final. Let's hope Somalia beats Eritrea. It is sad that it has to come to this.
Djibouti and Burundi are all eliminated from the tournament. Eritrea with one point has a slim chance and will need a win against Somalia on Saturday. Somalia, Djibouti and Burundi all have 0 points and Eritrea is third from bottom with 1 point.
The top 2 group finishers from Group A, B and C and two overall best qualifiers will move on to the next stage for the quarter finals.
