Rwanda hammered Mauritius 5-0 on Tuesday at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali to go second of Group H.

A brace from Ernest Sugira and one each from teenage sensation Dominique Savio Nshuti, right back Fitina Ombalenga and Jean Baptiste Mugiraneza was enough for the Amavubi to avenge a painful 1-0 loss in the reverse encounter last Saturday in Belle Vue.

Ghana leads the pack with 10 points from four games, with Rwanda and Mauritius in that order on six points each. Mozambique sits at the depth of the standings with just a point.
