Denis Rukundo and his APR teammates eliminated Seychelles’ Anse Reunion at the preliminary round to set up a date with Mali giants Djoliba FC in the CAF Confederation Cup.

The Rwanda army side progressed on a 6-1 aggregate as they defeated their opponents 2-1 away a week after winning 4-0 at the Amahoro.

Herve Rugwiro and Issa Bigirimana scored the former Rwanda giants in Seychelles on Tuesday.

Djoliba, who reached the group stages of the competition in 2012 progressed without kicking a ball after Liberia’s Elwa United opted out of the competition after the draws.

APR will play the first leg away from home and then host the return leg with the winner reaching the pre-group stages of the second most lucrative club competition on the continent.

They have never played in the group stages since their continental debut in 1997.
