Match Recap
Rwanda arrived in Praia and walked out with a comeback win. Gilson Benchimol had Cape Verde Islands ahead at the break, but Claude Niyomugabo leveled it right on the stroke of halftime, and Elie Tatou Iradukunda turned it around seven minutes into the second half to make it 2-1. That's how this Africa Cup of Nations - Qualification opener finished, and the table already tells the story: Rwanda sit top with three points and a win from their first game, while Cape Verde Islands drop to third with nothing on the board after a loss. Neither side's name shows up alongside E. Colley, the division's current top scorer with three goals, but Niyomugabo and Iradukunda have both put themselves on the scoresheet in a hurry with this two-goal salvo. For Cape Verde Islands, an early lead evaporating inside seven second-half minutes is the kind of collapse that lingers. Watch how Iradukunda's 52nd-minute strike unravels the hosts' lead in the highlights below.
