With the narrow victory, the coach said he hopes his team will move forward and reach the first round of the tournament

At the break I told them not to rush because this is the first match, of the second leg we will play in Rwanda, so keep calm, they will get a chance to score and even if they don't do that today (the other day), even in the second leg match they can score as well," said Dabo
Azam got the victory with a goal scored by Colombian striker Jhonier Blanco in the 56th minute with a penalty kick, after Feisal Salum was brought down in the danger zone
"I have deleted APR is a team that does not allow goals easily, its defenders are good, so we have to plan well in the return match"
"We are going to play in Rwanda, we are sure to win because we have a good team that can also win away," said the coach
