Kenya beat favorites Blue Sharks of Cape Verde 1-0 at home to maintain a hundred percent record over the Islanders in three encounters.

Gor Mahia sensation Michael Olunga nicknamed Engineer scored the lone goal in the first half of the match heading in Clifton Miheso cross to light up Nyayo Stadium – Nairobi.

The vital win gives the Stars a slight edge of the Rui Aguas charges as they head to the Island nation for the second stanza of the second round 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifier.

The Sharks ranked 4th in Africa gave little troubled to lowly ranked Kenya as the Bobby Williamson men defended very well keeping danger man Ramos at length.

The return leg will be staged on Tuesday 17 in Cape Verde.
