“Keep your head up, no matter what,” Lwanga tweeted. When asked for further insight, he added, “The team gave their all in Cairo, but it wasn’t meant to be. However, we must press forward; there’s much more to achieve.”
“It’s a tough blow, but that’s the nature of football. We must maintain a positive outlook because it’s the only way to move ahead. As a team, we still have significant goals for this season,” Lwanga told Pusle Sports.
Lwanga, one of the foreign signings by the Lions after the removal of a 10-year ban on non-Rwandan players, joined the squad in August and has appeared in nearly every league game except one.
APR FC currently holds the third spot with seven points in the Rwanda Premier League and is set to face Musanze FC at home on Friday.
