It was an evening of mixed results on Friday for CECAFA teams in the on-going FIFA Series in Kigali, Rwanda.
Hosts Rwanda put-up a brilliant performance in the second Group A match to demolish Grenada 4-0 at the Amahoro Stadium.
Cheered on by Rwanda President and a big football supporter Paul Kagame, the Amavubi in command by a new coach Stephen Philip Constantine scored two goals in each half to send the fans in celebrations.
After several missed chances Rwanda netted the opening goal two minutes into added time with a stunner by Leroy Jacques Mickels that rested at the corner of the net past the Grenada goalkeeper Chad Leron Jaime Philip.
Four minutes later Jojea Kwizera made it 2-0 for the hosts as the match headed for a break.
After recess Jermaine Laman Jordan Francis tried a long range for Grenada, but missed the target.
Skipper Djihad Bizimana also got his name on the score board with a long range shot that beat the Grenada goalkeeper after 69 minutes. Stylish Hakim Sahabo made sure he did not miss out on the party when he made it 4-0 after 83 minutes to send the fans in party mood.
“I am happy that the players got on the pitch and played as a team to win the match,” said a happy coach Constantine after the match.
Rwanda will now face Estonia in the final on Monday night at the same Stadium. Estonia edged Kenya 5-4 in penalty shoot-outs in the first match on Friday after it ended 1-1 after the allotted 90 minutes.
On Sunday action will return to Group B with Macau facing Tanzania in the play-off match, while Liechtenstein take on Aruba at the Kigali Pele Stadium.
