Kenya were reduced to ten men midway through the first half after Marvin Nabwire received a straight red card, but the team showed resilience and steel to mount a comeback from a goal down.
The equalizer came courtesy of Austin Odhiambo, who won and converted a penalty.
Stars then held firm, even surviving a late VAR-overturned decision that would have handed Angola a dramatic winner.

He often appeared out of position and struggled to find his footing, looking disjointed from the rest of the team.
With limited service upfront, he may have been the biggest casualty of Nabwire’s early dismissal.
Despite the challenges, he managed to win six of his 12 aerial duels before being forced off with an injury in the 79th minute.
