Tunisia beat Rwanda 3:0 in the African Championship on 21 September 2026. The hosts remain top of the table with two wins from two games, while Rwanda sit second after three matches and one defeat.
By then Tunisia had already shown this was no fluke. They had won their previous two fixtures 3:0 against Kenya and Ghana, and before that a 3:0 victory over Portugal. The pattern was clear enough.
Rwanda's recent run tells a different story. They beat Gambia 3:0 on 19 September and DR Congo 3:1 the day before, but had lost 1:3 to Cameroon on 17 September. To be fair, they were always going to be tested after that. And here's the thing — two teams on six points, but one has played one fewer game.
The gap between them matters. Tunisia lead with 6 points from 2 games, Rwanda follow with 6 from 3. Goal difference isn't provided, so the table rests on points alone for now.
What this result does is keep Tunisia's perfect record intact. Rwanda's third match brought them closer in points but didn't change their position. The standings say who's where, but the recent results show the shape of things.
