Guest entrants Zimbabwe have been knocked out of the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup by Rwanda.

The Warriors were beaten 4-1 in the quarter-final of the East and Central African regional tournament.

Zimbabwe had been favourites to win the game after claiming the Southern African regional title, the Cosafa Senior Challenge, last month.

Rwanda will go on to meet Tanzania in the semi-finals on Thursday after the Taifa Stars beat Eritrea earlier.

Marcio Maximo's team secured a 4-0 win over the East African minnows to make it through to the last four.

Tanzania striker Mrisho Ngassa scored three times in the game.

The semi-final between the Taifa Stars and the Amavubi of Rwanda will take place in Nairobi on Thursday.
