Berahino hails Burundi's 'sweet revenge' after Tanzania victory

The former Stoke City striker is happy to have earned revenge against the Taifa Stars in the friendly played at Mkapa Stadium

Burundi striker Saido Berahino was left on cloud nine after his side edged out Tanzania 1-0 in an international friendly played at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Sunday.

The Swallows put up a brave fight in front of the home fans and were eventually rewarded with a late goal when burly striker Saidi Ntibazonkiza found space outside the 18-yard area and unleashed a fierce shot which goalkeeper David Mapigano could not keep out.
