On November 18, 2019, Harambee Stars played a thrilling 1-1 draw with Togo in their Total Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers 2021 match at Kasarani stadium in Nairobi.

The match was a crucial one for Kenya, as a win would have taken them to the top of Group G. However, the team's hopes were dashed when Togo's Hakim Sama powered home the equaliser midway through the second half.

Belgium-based midfielder Johanna Omolo had given Kenya the lead with a thunderbolt that went in off the underside of the crossbar, but it was not enough to secure a win.

Coach Francis Kimanzi was disappointed with his team's performance, but he believes there is still a lot to play for, especially with a back-back tie with Comoros next year.
