Kenya's Harambee Stars twice came from a goal down to beat Tanzania 3-2 in the final of the East African regional tournament, the Cecafa Cup.

In a thrilling match Tanzania went ahead on 28 minutes, Emmanuel Gabriaf firing home.

But the pre-tournament favourites, who were shocked by Tanzania in the opening group stage in a 1-0 defeat, were back on level terms just two minutes later, Paul Oyuga grabbing the equaliser.

Although Kenya continued to press, Tanzania defended well and went in at the break still on level terms.

And it was the Taifa Stars themselves who again went ahead on 59 minutes.

Mecky Mexime slotted home from the penalty spot after Kenyan defender Mashara had left him prostrate with a clumsy tackle in the area.

But again Tanzania were unable to keep the lead for long.

Kenya began to surge forward and on 70 minutes had equalised again, this time through John Baraza.

This time there was to be no fightback from the Taifa Stars, and just two minutes later Kenya got their winner.

The competition's top scorer, 17-year-old wonderkid Dennis Oliech, got his fifth of the tournament and wrapped up the victory for Kenya.

Kenya now have won both regional trophies this year, having taken the Castle Cup with a 3-2 penalty win over Uganda in October.
