Sunday Rwanda 0-1 Congo Brazzaville
The national football team was defeated 1-0 by Congo-Brazzaville in their last warm-up match as the team prepares for the CHAN tournament which runs from January 16 to February 7, 2021, in Cameroon.
Cervelie Ikouma scored the goal in the 10th minute at Amahoro stadium. Amavubi tried to push for an equaliser but were wasteful
The first half ended with both teams having very few chances on goal and it was the same thing in the second half.
Amavubi coach Vincent Mashami said his team needs to be ruthless in front of goal and also be disciplined in the way they defend.
"We lost because of one mistake, one piece of poor positioning and we gave the ball away to the opponent who punished us. We need to be disciplined in defense and also not waste the goal-scoring opportunities that we get,” Mashami said
The national team travels to Cameroon for the 2020 CHAN tournament this week.
After featuring in three past editions, Rwanda has only made it past the group stage once, when the country hosted the tournament in 2016.
Rwanda will be competing in CHAN for the fourth time overall and third in a row.
The event will be hosted by the cities of Yaounde, Douala, and Limbe and will also serve as a warm-up for Cameroon ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations.
