Postmatch editorial

Burundi turned the pre-match edge into points

The final score was Burundi 5-0 Seychelles. The strongest pre-match signals were already leaning toward that outcome.

Christophe Nduwarugira put the first mark on the match 22', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Burundi led Shots on target 7-0. Burundi also shaded Total shots 7-0.
