Afcon 2019: Burundi won’t lose hope after Madagascar defeat, says coach Olivier Niyungeko

Following their 1-0 defeat to Madagascar, coach Olivier Niyungeko is not throwing in the towel just yet and has assured that Burundi will go all out for a win against Guinea.

Marco Ilaimaharita’s strike in the 76th minute condemned the Central African side to their second successive loss in Egypt and leaves them rooted at the bottom of Group B.

The defeat at the Alexandria Stadium puts Niyungeko’s men in a must-win situation for their final group match against Guinea on Sunday.
