Rwanda beat Cape Verde after another costly Vozinha error

Rwanda produced a resilient comeback away from home to claim a 2-1 victory over Cape Verde in their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Tuesday. A decisive goalkeeping mistake from veteran shot-stopper Vozinha gifted the visitors their winning goal in Praia, leaving the Blue Sharks rooted to the bottom of Group K without a single point after two matches.

The Eric Chelle-led team came into the match knowing the fate was not in their hand since Rwanda had to do them a favour by beating Bafana Bafana in another Group C game that was played simultaneously. The Cheetahs had one job: just get maximum points and grab the ticket to compete with the best in the tournament to be co-hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

In what is seen as good news for their group rivals, the Cheetahs will face the Super Eagles without two of their key players. The last games in Group C carry high stakes, as none of the contestants have sealed their place in next year's global bonanza.
