On Sunday evening, Harambee Stars were forced to a barren draw by a zealous Tanzania in the first leg of their CHAN 2020 qualifier, staged at the National Stadium Dar es Salaam.
Kenya had several open chances that would have changed the result with more clinical finishing, but Tanzania had more chances in the match.
The first of coach Sebastien Migne to operate with only local-based players, Harambee Stars ensured a share of spoils against an experienced side whose 60 percent of the team has been playing for the country for over or near a decade.
Kenya's goalkeeper John Oyemba did well to deny a corner ball sumptuously sent to Tanzania's John Raphael Bocco, who had risen above Star's defense to head home in the 37th minute.
Upon resumption, Kenya's Musa Masika was withdrawn for Gor Mahia man Samuel Onyango, taking the left wing role as Enosh strolled to his usual centre.
With Migne sensing a draw, in the 89th minute, he threw into the fray a more defensive Ibrahim Shambi for Isuza, and the stalemate was sealed.
