We had four or five chances but we didn\u2019t capitalize on them,\u201d admitted Ruboneka.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It [second leg] is a very big game where we have to score with the chances we create. We know that Pyramids is a very big team and we saw them in Kigali, the way they play. We know it&#8217;s going to be a very different game in Cairo,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I don\u2019t think we are scared, we will go to play football and I believe we can qualify here in Cairo.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pyramids are favourites on paper with home advantage but Ruboneka fired them a warning that it\u2019s not over until it\u2019s over.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want to play a good match away and maintain our chances of qualifying and it will be tough. Pyramids has great players with a lot of experience in this competition. I would like to stress once again that a football match will remain a football match,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>It was not the result APR FC wished for in the first leg at home and they now face an uphill task to eliminate Pyramids at their home turf in Cairo if they are to qualify for the CAF Champions\u2019 League group stages.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we play against Pyramids with the same quality that we have displayed this week, and defend well, then I am confident we will get the right result and move into the group stages,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>APR will be looking to win at Cairo International Stadium, the same ground where they lost 6-1 at the hands of the same side and in the same round.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Rwanda Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
