Lesotho head coach Leslie Notsi has fired a warning to Rwanda that the visitors’ match will be different from the first leg in which his side lost 1-0. Winger Jojea Kwizera scored the lone goal as Rwanda beat Lesotho 1-0 at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, South Africa, in June. Notsi said that his side is more relaxed now to face Rwanda compared to the first leg in which all eyes were on them after they had defeated Zimbabwe. The first round was not an easy match because we were coming from a win against Zimbabwe. They shocked us 1-0 but Tuesday’s encounter will be very different, Notsi told the press on Tuesday. Rwanda is a disciplined team and we know their strengths. We have to get the three points which will put us in good standings. We have nothing to lose and we will go all out in the game. Our team is work in progress. Tomorrow's match will be different from the first game we lost.
