Ernest Sugira is still revelling in his winning goal and Amavubi’s 3-2 victory over Togo on Tuesday, January 26, which saw Rwanda qualify for the quarterfinals of the ongoing African Nations Championship in Cameroon. “I am delighted to have scored but the win should be credited to the whole team including the coaches and non-playing staff. I will continue working on my fitness because I felt tired towards the end of the match due to not playing much in the last few months,” the striker said after the match. The 29-year-old, who replaced Savio Nshuti in the second half, netted the winning goal in the 66th minute to send Amavubi fans in the stands into wild celebrations. Meanwhile, Captain Jacques Tuyisenge, who was named man of the match after scoring one of the goals as Rwanda came twice from a goal down to beat Togo 3-2 highlighted the need for the team to be more clinical. “We created several chances in the match and could have scored five goals. I think if we become more clinical then we have a fair chance of reaching the quarterfinal because our defence has been impressive,” Tuyisenge said Rwanda will know their quarterfinal opponents when the final group stage matches are played this week.
