Rwanda have made an impressive start to their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign. After beating Liberia 3-1 on the opening matchday, Amavubi secured a second win by defeating Cape Verde 2-1.

Amavubi provisional leaders

With six points from two matches, Rwanda top Group K pending the result of Mali's match against Liberia at 7 p.m. GMT. It is a perfect start for the Rwandans, who are confirming their ambitions in this campaign.

Cape Verde in deep trouble

Meanwhile, Cape Verde have suffered their second defeat. The myth of the historic World Cup has quickly faded for the Blue Sharks. Beaten 3-1 by the Mali Eagles on the opening matchday, they now sit bottom of the group.

An unsettling start for new head coach Humberto Frederico Silva, who replaced Bubista after he left to coach RS Berkane.
