Kenya's football team has made a stunning comeback in the Copa Coca-Cola Africa Cup Tournament, storming into the quarter finals after thrashing Mozambique 3-0 in their second match.

The match, held at Mpesa Foundation Academy in Thika, saw sensational striker Fredrick Onyango net a first-half hat-trick, sending the defending champions to the last eight of the four-day tourney.

Kenya's journey to the quarter finals was not without its challenges, however. In their opening match, they were stunned 3-1 by Zimbabwe in a soaked ground.

Despite the setback, Kenya's team showed remarkable resilience, bouncing back to secure a crucial win against Mozambique.

Kenya will now face Botswana in the quarter finals, which has attracted ten countries from diverse Confederation of African Football (CAF) zones.

Other participating countries include Tanzania, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Zambia, Namibia, Uganda, Angola, and Botswana.

However, Ethiopia and Burkina Faso pulled out of the tournament due to unknown reasons.

Kenya's victory in the Copa Coca-Cola Africa Cup Tournament is a testament to the team's determination and skill.

As the tournament continues, fans can expect to see more exciting matches and thrilling performances from the participating teams.
