The youthful side will now battle Uganda for regional bragging rights on Sunday.
Rwanda’s Amavubi Stars beat Tanzanian Kilimanjaro Stars 2-1 today at Nyayo National Stadium to sail into the finals of the Orange sponsored CECAFA senior challenge Cup.
The first half was evenly matched and ended in a scoreless deadlock but just after the break, Tanzanian defender Kevin Yondani was sent off after receiving a second yellow card.
The boost saw Rwanda score the opener in the 62nd minute through Ndayisishime Yusuf. They added the second in the 78th minute through captain Mutesa Mafisango to wrap their impressive evening.
Tanzania got a consolation in the 80th minute when Musa Mgosi tapped in after Rwanda’s 'keeper spilled the ball in the box. As the game came to an end, Rwanda’s Ndamuhanga Tumaine received a red card after he provoked the Tanzanian bench.
Rwanda will now meet Uganda in the finals to be played on Sunday. Tanzania will have to fight for third place with Zanzibar, a match that will also be played on Sunday before the final.
