Kenya's hopes of advancing to the Africa Cup of Nations knockout stage are now in the hands of Angola and Benin, following a 3-0 defeat to Senegal on Monday night.
With the top two teams in each group automatically qualifying for the next round, Kenya's chances of progressing are slim. However, the team can still qualify as one of the four best third-placed teams.
Kenya finished third in Group C, behind Algeria and Senegal, and ahead of Tanzania. In the battle for the best loser spot, Kenya occupies the fourth position, behind Guinea, DR Congo, and South Africa.
Angola and Benin, who are fifth and sixth in the group, have each played a game less. If either of them win or draw against Mali and Cameroon respectively, Kenya will be eliminated.
