Rwanda miss out on quarter-final despite shock win

TINY RWANDA upset neighbours Democratic Republic of Congo 1-0 yesterday for their first-ever African Nations Cup victory, only to have a quarter-final place snatched from them when Guinea drew 1-1 with Tunisia.

Guinea finished second in group A, one point ahead of the east Africans, after Aboubacar Titi Camara equalised in the 84th minute with his third goal in as many games.

Tunisia, who went ahead with a superbly-taken Slim Benachour goal, had already qualified with a game to spare.
