National soccer team, Harambee Stars registered the first win in the on-going four nations tournament in Mauritius.

Harambee Stars beat Pakistan 1-0 on Wednesday, with new boy Moses Shumah scoring for coach Engin Firat's charges in the first half.

Shumah plays for Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League side, Kakamega Homeboyz.

He was donning the Stars' colours for the very first time.

It was the first ever football meeting between Harambee Stars and Pakistan.

The national team will play hosts Mauritius on Sunday.

Harambee Stars was supposed to play three matches in the tourney. However, that was not to be after the team arrived late in Mauritius.

The players were supposed to travel on Saturday to face Djibouti on Sunday.

The team jetted out on Monday morning, a board a Kenya Airways (KQ) plane.

FKF Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Barry Otieno blamed lack of flights to Mauritius, for the aborted journey on Saturday.
