He said the game is important for AS Kigali as it gives the best opportunity for the club to win something. “We know APR are the better side and will come as favourites but that what we need because it puts all the pressure on them.” We have good players and I believe we can match anyone, but as coach, my priority is to try and win against APR. It is going to hard but “we will give it our best shot possible.” “It is the competition where anyone can be beaten and we have seen it this year, where big teams have not reached this stage, so I hope with the commitment we have in camp, we will make a difference,” he explained.However, efforts to get a comment from APR coach Andreas Spier were futile as he could not answer our calls by press time.AS Kigali reached the last four of this year’s Peace Cup against Malaria after a 3-1 win over Musanze.
