RWANDA IN 2-2 DEADLOCK

RWANDA and the Ivory Coast drew 2-2 in their first round World Cup qualifier. Akassaou Gislain scored first in the closing minute of the first half, but Rwandan Mily Hassan equalised just after the break. Rwanda went two-up when Julien Ndagan scored, but the lead was short-lived as Kiata Fadel equalised before a crowd of more than 15000 at the Amahoro stadium in Kigali.
