Rwanda manager Adel Amrouche confessed that Knowledge Musona's presence in Zimbabwe's lineup caused him anxiety before their World Cup qualifier encounter. The East African nation secured a 1-0 victory against the Warriors during Matchday Eight of Group C qualification for the 2026 tournament. Musona began the match in an unfamiliar midfield position rather than his typical striker role and completed the full 90 minutes. Amrouche expressed relief when he observed the veteran forward operating from a withdrawn position on the field. The Rwandan tactician praised Musona as Africa's premier individual talent while acknowledging Zimbabwe's overall squad quality presented constant threats throughout the contest.
