When asked about whether Proline FC offered a big challenge in their final group C game Chiyangi said: “The challenge was there but When a team plays 4-5-2 and you play 4-4-2 its easy for you to defend because they pack the midfield so the only thing you do is make sure they don’t penetrate and that’s what we did.”

In the quarter finals, the Kawale boys will face Kenyan giants Gor Mahia and Chiyangi is happy with the challenge saying it was why they went to Rwanda, To face tough oppositions.

“The purpose for us coming here was to meet the best, We meeting Gor Mahia and we are very happy. We will see how will challenge them. We have watched them and we know they are a good side but we will plan for them, ” he said.

“Generally, we have seen how they play and they have got good players. We have watched them on TV and know that they depend on speed and strength so we will make sure we neutralize it, ” he added.
