Rwanda U-18 coach Jean Baptiste Kayiranga is looking forward to maintaining perfect start to 2023 CECAFA U18 championship when his young guns lock horns with hostsr Kenya in second Group A encounter taking place at Jomo Kenyatta International Stadium on Tuesday.

Sultan Bobo Sibomana scored the lone goal as Rwanda beat Somalia on Saturday despite playing the entire second half with a man down after goalkeeper Eric Byringiro was sent off for handling the ball outside the box.

Attention is now turned to Kenya on Tuesday and Kayiranga is expecting his boys to even improve their game against the home team which started the competition brightly after thrashing Sudan 5-0 in the opening match.

" I am happy with the way my team performed against Somalia and we want to maintain that performance against Kenya which is going to be even tougher to beat at home,” said Kayiranga.

" We are focused on Kenya and our ultimate goal is to qualify for the next round of the tournament."
