KAMPALA, Jan. 5 (Xinhua) -- Rwandan football club Association Sportive de Kigali (AS Kigali) on Tuesday said it is ready to face off with Uganda's KCCA FC in a return leg of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Confederation Cup on Wednesday.
Eric Nshimiyimana, head coach of AS Kigali told Xinhua here that they are in Uganda for a win, which will let the Rwanda side qualify for the next round of the CAF Confederation Cup.
"We have prepared well and believe we have what it takes to eliminate KCCA FC," Nshimiyimana said.
According to the competition rules, CAF awarded the first leg match to AS Kigali as a 2-0 victory because KCCA FC last month failed to present 11 starting players and four substitutes. This was after some KCCA FC players failed COVID-19 tests.
Nshimiyimana said AS Kigali is determined to make its own history. "We shall need to get an early goal so that we settle in well," the coach said.
KCCA FC, who will have most of its players return after testing negative for COVID-19, has also vowed to turn tables.
"We know it will be a tough match, but we are determined to come all out and get the result that can take us to the next round," said KCCA FC assistant coach Morley Byekwaso. Enditem
