Rwanda Stun Ethiopia In Addis Ababa
Rwanda’s Amavubi Team beat Ethiopia 3-2 away in Addis Ababa to brighten their hopes of landing the maiden slot of participating in next year’s Africa Nations’ Championship (CHAN) which will be held in Morocco.
Goals from left back Rutanga Eric courtesy of a brilliant free kick in the 55th minute, Hakizimana Muhadjiri in 78th minute and Biramahire Abeddy in the 80th minute earned a crucial away result for Rwanda, their heaviest win away from home registered in recent years.
Ethiopia who dominated the game scored their goals through Ethiopia Coffee midfielder Aschalew Girma in the 18th minute before doubling their score in the 65th minute courtesy of a brilliant header from St. George striker Abubakar Sani.
The win puts Amavubi in a crucial position to qualify to next year’s continental championship going into next Sunday’s return leg as they will only be required to settle for a goalless draw to be assured of automatic qualification.
Rwanda and Ethiopia are vying for a final place at next year’s CHAN finals following Egypt’s withdrawal after clubs refused to release players as the tournament for home-based footballers is not staged during a FIFA international window.

I have not given up yet. 2-0 could do the job. We have nothing to lose. Attack ,attack, attack should be our strategy.
But going forward, we should have a team made up of younger players that should play together for at least 2 to 3 years together without changing the whole team with a new one every year.
That includes the coach. We have to give him/her a chance for 2 yrs or more before any change.
Otherwise it will the same defeat with a new coach and players every F$%*King year.
Ethiopia National Team defeated since the past 50 years from all African team except Somalia and Djibouti , why need to waste time and money ???????????????
