The Sousse Star received a surprising defeat against its host, Nairobi United from Kenya, with a score of two goals to none, in the match that brought the two teams together today, Sunday, at the 'Olinzi' stadium in the capital Nairobi, as part of the first leg of the second round of the African Confederation Cup for football.

The Kenyan team scored its two goals through Ofila Oching in the 37th minute, before his teammate John Otieno added a second goal in the 50th minute, putting his team in a comfortable position ahead of the return match.

The Sousse Star is expected to host its opponent Nairobi United in the return match in the city of Sousse at the end of next week, hoping to recover from the defeat and compensate for the score deficit to ensure qualification to the next round.
