The qualifier of the 2024 Women's African Cup of Nations witnessed its biggest surprise on Tuesday afternoon as Harambee Starlets of Kenya edged Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Cameroonian side secured a narrow 1-0 victory over the Kenyan team last week in the first leg of the qualifier and needed to secure a favourable result in the second leg to progress into the next round.

But it was never meant to be as Kenya took their pound of flesh by recording a 1-0 home win.

After both sides could not be separated, the game proceeded to a penalty shoot-out and Kenya prevailed 4-3.

The Cameroon ouster made it the second consecutive time they failed to qualify for the competition.
