Nairobi — Rwanda's Amavubi Stars yesterday made it to the Cecafa Orange Senior Challenge Cup final in Nairobi, Kenya to face Uganda, after a 2-1 win over the Kilimanjaro Stars of Tanzania.
Yusuf Ndaishimye and Mafisango Mutesa netted for the Amavubi, while Musa Mugosi scored for Marcio Maximo's boys.
Both sides finished with a man less after Tanzania's Kevin Yondani saw read five minutes into the second half, while Rwanda's Didier Kaped was sent to the stands in the last minute of the game.
Meanwhile, former Zimbabwe International Norman Mapeza who is currently in charge of the national team has tipped the Cranes to win the regional trophy.
Mapeza who guided Zimbabwe to their first Cosafa title two month ago said that he doesn't see any team that can stop the Cranes at the moment.
"I put my money on Uganda. They are a fine side that plays with a lot of attacking football and it's going to be tough for the teams that will face them," Mapeza told a filled press conference at the Nyayo Stadium.
The Uganda Cranes who have won a record 10 Cecafa titles since the tournament's inception in 1973 will also be playing in this year's final due on Sunday at the Nyayo Stadium.
The Cranes under Scottish coach Bobby Williamson have won a record 12 games drawn two and lost only two.
