U17 World Cup: Tanzania will not underrate Burundi despite advantage – Meshack

Tanzania U17 player Joyce Meshack has stated they will not underrate Burundi as they face off in the return leg of the Fifa Women's World Cup qualifiers in Bujumbura.

They arrived in Bujumbura, Burundi from Dar es Salaam on Thursday with a contingent of 25 players and officials, carrying a 5-1 advantage from the first leg played at home.

It is a win which many people feel Burundi will not be able to overturn but Meshack has maintained the game is not over yet and they will not underrate their opponents.
