It’s redemption time for Amavubi in Afcon qualifiers

Rwanda beat Congo to advance to the final round of the Africa Cup of Nations 2015 qualifiers. I am one of the many who never believed this was going to be possible. Yes, I must admit. I will take this straight to the chin. Having lost the first leg by 2-0, it all seemed over, but the young lads had other thoughts. They eventually outdid themselves by leveling the score in the return leg and went on to win in penalty shootouts. Whatever coach Stephen Constantine told the boys, whatever training methods he used and whatever state of mind they were in as they stepped onto that pitch – that is exactly what we needed. For a nation so thirsty for some sports glory, that was a major boost and all credit to the coach and his team.
