Hosts Rwanda have advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2021 Volleyball African Nations Championships following an effortless over Burkina Faso in Group A on Thursday evening.

Rwanda made light work of Burkina Faso in straight sets 25-14, 25-20 and 25-16 to register their second victory in the competition, enough to secure a spot into the last eight round with a game to spare.

Hard-hitting spiker Yves Mutabazi put on a man-of-the-match performance with 20 points, including six service aces.
