Odemba’s senior team, the Harambee Starlets, last month eliminated Cameroon in the qualifiers for the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) and Kenya now has another opportunity to complete a double over the Central African nation.

Cameroon progressed to the third round after edging out Botswana 6-1 on aggregate, following a 4-1 victory at home in the return tie.

The Rising Starlets, playing the World Cup qualifiers for only the third time in history, dismantled Angola 4-0 away from home, with red hot Valerie Nekesa proving her mettle once again with another fine display.

She scored the opener, with Anna Arusi adding a double and Charity Midewa, who scored twice in the first leg, adding on to the haul.

Nekesa broke the deadlock after just six minutes when she ran on to a through ball from the left before side stepping the keeper and tapping into an empty net.

Arusi then gave Starlets a 2-0 lead at halftime in Luanda, curling the ball home direct for a corner to virtually put the tie to bed.

She completed her brace in the second half with a brilliant goal, turning her marker inside out on the right before striking a brilliant shot past the keeper.

Midewa put the icing on the cake with the fourth, clipping the ball over the keeper after brilliant team move by the Starlets.
