Amavubi faces Togo
Sparrowhawks in Group C matchday 3 of the ongoing Total African Nations Championship (CHAN), Cameroon 2020 at Limbe Omnisport Stadium on Tuesday (26 January 2021).
Rwanda coach Vincent Mashami made it clear that his side simply needs to do the work on the pitch by winning this match to qualify for the quarters.
Rwanda had two goalless draws against Uganda and Morocco before they face CHAN debutants Togo, who lost 1-0 to the reigning champions, then beat Uganda 2-1 to revive their hopes.
Rwanda’s goalkeeper Olivier Kwizera had to be alert to deny Morocco El Kaabi with a fine save seven minutes after the resumption of the second half as the champions exerted more pressure.
The Sparrowhawks, who are debuting in the tournament, moved second courtesy of a maiden 2-1 win against the Cecafa champions.
Meanwhile, an own goal from Paul Mbowa in the 48th minute contributed big in handing Le Roy a win in Cameroon. Uganda were not discouraged by the goal as they equalised three minutes later when Saidi Kyeyune scored a classic goal.
Togo fought and restored the lead when Yendoutie Nane’s curling effort from some 20 yards out beat Charles Lukwago in Uganda’s goal in the 57th minute.
