Emerging Stars' trip to the Uzbekistan has ended on a losing note after the Juniors slumped to a 1-0 defeat in the second friendly tie played this Monday 26th March in Uzbekistan.
Doston Tursunov scored with virtually the last kick of the match to see the host revenge a 2-1 defeat inflicted by Stars, three days ago in first tie pitting the sides.
One change
Starlets entered the clash on back of a 2-1 win in first leg and Francis Kimanzi opted to keep faith with his winning team.
Chrispinus Onyango was rested with Bernard Ochieng taking his place in the single change done.
The first half encounter proved a fast paced clash with hosts looking more eager to take the game to Stars.
The scores however remained balanced despite the hosts dominanting with a number of chances at goal.
Close shave
The reigning U23 Asian carried the same tempo to the final half and Aziz Turngabaev almost got the break through midway in the half.
His miss was a relief to Kenya who had seen Pistone Mutamba denied by the post, what should be his second goal in as many games, moments earlier.
Ravshan Khaydarov's side finally got their revenge done albeit late in the clash from a cross was steered home by Tusurnov.
