Rwanda: Team Hits Cecafa Exit
Bonnie Mugabe
26 August 2009
Kigali - RWANDA succumbed to a premature exit from the Cecafa-Bashir
Youth Championship after Monday's 1-all draw against defending champions
Burundi at Sudan's Wad Medani stadium.
Foster Usengimana gave Rwanda a first half lead but Burundi leveled the
score in the second half through Mavogu Laudit's free kick. Laudit's
strike was too much for Rwanda's goalie Emery Mvuyekure who could only
watch the ball race into the net.
The draw meant that Burundi and Eritrea progressed from Group C on the
count of goals scored. Burundi scored three goals; Eritrea scored two
while Rwanda managed one.
Elsewhere, Uganda's Hippos suffered a 0-1 loss at the hands of Zanzibar
but still sailed into the quarter-finals as group B leaders on superior
goal difference. Uganda finished top of the group with six points, level
with Zanzibar but ahead of the Islanders with an eight goal advantage.
Tanzania confirmed their top rating in Group A when they soaked Somalia
2-0 at Khartoum Stadium. The win placed the Serengeti Boys on top of the
Group with maximum points (nine) and will now play Ethiopia in
Wednesday's quarter-final tie.
In other quarter-final ties, Uganda will battle guests Malawi on
Thursday while defending champions Burundi will play against hosts Sudan
on Friday. Eritrea will also play Zanzibar on Friday.
