Rwanda, Tanzania to play in Cecafa Challenge Cup semis

NAIROBI, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) -- Tanzania and Rwanda will battle in the second semifinal of the Orange Cecafa senior Challenge Cup, following comprehensive victories over Zimbabwe and Eritrea Tuesday at the Nyayo national Stadium.

Tanzania's Mrisho Ngassa scored a hat-trick in the 61st, 76th and 83rd minutes to continue with what John Bocco (61st minute) had started.

Rwanda on the other hand recovered from an eighth minute Mutizwa Lionel setback to score four times in the final hour. Ndayishimiye Yusuf (30th), Ndamuhanga Tumaini (67th and 76th) and Haruna Niyonzima (90th) were on target for the Rwandese.

The win was the second in a couple of days for Rwanda over the southern Africans who lost 0-1 in their last preliminary and only qualified as one of the two best qualifiers.

The first semifinal of this 12-nation tournament takes place Wednesday when the defending champions Uganda take on Zanzibar.
