Rwanda/Cape Verde: 'Revolution Has Begun' - Constantine Upbeat After Rwanda Stun Cape Verde

Rwanda moved to six points from two matches after Claude Niyomugabo and Elie Iradukunda completed a comeback win, coach Constantine said.

  • Rwanda's Amavubi secured a 2-1 comeback victory against Cabo Verde, maintaining a perfect start to the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers as head coach Stephen Constantine declared, "The revolution has begun."
  • After falling behind to Gilson Benchimol's 40th-minute opener, Claude Niyomugabo equalized during first-half stoppage time before substitute Elie Iradukunda "Tatou" completed the comeback shortly after the restart.
  • The win moves Amavubi to the top of Group K with six points from two matches, level on points with second-placed Mali, who beat Liberia 1-0 on Tuesday night.
  • Constantine credited his players' reaction after conceding the opening goal, stating, "I'm very pleased with the players. To go behind and then respond the way we did shows the character and belief this team is developing."
  • Midfielder Bonheur Mugisha will miss the next Group K clash against Mali in November after receiving his second yellow card, as Constantine emphasized the squad must "stay humble, keep working hard and remain focused.
