Harambee Stars Biggest Wins in History After Beating Seychelles 5:0 IN World Cup Qualifier

• Kenya have in the past secured memorable wins on the international stage
• Their 9-1 win over Djibouti back in 1998 remains their biggest victory in history
• Harambee Stars demolished Seychelles 5-0 on Monday night to add to their haul of huge wins

Kenya's Harambee Stars were in the best form of their lives during their World Cup qualifier against Seychelles on Monday, November 20.

The Enjin Firat-tutored side secured a huge 5-0 win over the island nation, a major boost to their hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.

The big victory came just days after Harembee Stars suffered a 2-1 defeat against Gabon in their Group F opener staged at Stade de Franceville.

However, on Monday, Kenya redeemed themselves by seeing off Seychelles in a thrilling clash played at Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium.

Incidentally, this was one of Kenya's biggest wins in the country's football history.
