Kenya coach Sebastian Migne on Friday played down rumours of seeking revenge against India in the summit clash.

However, he reiterated that it was a referee blunder that saw his team lose 0-3 to the hosts in the league game of the Intercontinental Cup&nbsp

Kenya routed a listless Chinese Taipei 4-0 to set up the summit clash with India at the Mumbai Football Arena on Sunday.

The African nation qualified for the final owing to a superior goal difference, throwing New Zealand out of the tournament.

Kenya had suffered a 3-0 defeat against India in the group stage match and the coach squarely blamed the referee for killing the match by awarding a penalty kick to the hosts.

"We watched our game against India and we were in the game until 0-0. The referee killed the game, the penalty wasn't needed. India don't need that, they're a strong team," Migne said. &nbsp

"We lost to a 12-man team against India, and the 12th man wasn't the fan. I'm not looking for revenge against Indian players because it wasn't their fault," he added.

He said the team practised set-pieces and the hard work paid off.

"We're very happy to be in the final and it shows the good image of Kenya. We scored from set-pieces, which we worked a lot for. We need to keep good fitness for final, as we have only two days," Migne added.

Chinese Taipei didn't win a single game but coach Gary White termed the experience as valuable for his players.
