Amagaju FC president Paul Nshimyumuremyi has tipped his team to keep believing till the last minute ahead of their last top four mini league fixture against Etoile de l’Est in the topflight league promotion battle slated for Saturday, May 20.

Nshimyumuremyi said that everything can happen in football as long as you’re committed and prepared. Amagaju dropped points in their last two matches against Gicumbi and Vision with a defeat and a draw, respectively.

"The situation is now difficult because we have lost four important points in the last two games, but we’re not giving up because anything can happen on the last day,” Nshimyumuremyi told Times Sports on Friday.

He added: "We played the last two games without our head coach who was attending CAF License Couching training. That has cost us a lot but we hope to have a great game tomorrow because he is back with the team and held some training sessions with the team.”

What can Amagaju do to qualify?

The only way Amagaju can qualify for the 2023/24 topflight league without depending on the results from the Gicumbi game is to beat Etoile de l’Est by a four-goal difference. Another possible way is to beat Etoile by any goal difference and wait for the results from the other side.

But a draw can also qualify Amagaju should Gicumbi lose their last game to Vision.

Table

1. Etoile de l’Est — 10 points

2. Gicumbi FC — 7 points

3. Amagaju FC — 7 points

4. Vision FC — 3 points
