Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Rwanda failed to make it to the semifinals of the 2023 Men\u2019s African Nations championship after losing to Algeria in three straight sets on Saturday in Cairo.<\/p>\n

After Algeria took the first set 25-18, Rwanda had a chance to win second set and, with a 24-19 lead, they needed just one point to draw the game level. But, thanks to strong services and killing blocks, the Algerians came from behind to equalize to 24-24 before they went on win the set with 27-25.<\/p>\n

Losing the set killed Paulo De Tarso\u2019s men mentally while a very determined Algerian side came back to finish the business in the third set. The Northern Africans improved in both defense and offense to claim the final set 25-16 to set a semifinal date with hosts Egypt.<\/p>\n
