2026 World Cup qualifier: Rwanda coach ‘ashamed’ of defeat to Super Eagles

Rwanda head coach Adel Amrouche could not hide his disappointment following his side’s defeat to the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

The Amavubi fell 2-0 to the Super Eagles in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matchday five encounter at the Amahoro Stadium, Kigali, on Friday night.

Victor Osimhen’s first-half brace separated the two teams on the night.

“There are some things we need to correct in this team. No problem, we lost, but we will regroup and go again in our next game,” Amrouche said during his interaction with the media after the game.

“I am very ashamed today. We cannot put in a performance like this in front of all these fans and the president.”

Rwanda dropped to third position in Group C following the defeat.
