Babu was introduced to the game in the 80th minute for – once again – Samuel Onyango who had come on for Erick Ouma at halftime.
On his debut on Thursday against Uganda, Babu took up Onyango’s place in the 72nd minute.
To wrap up the sixth and final game of the qualifiers, Kenya took a quick 2-0 lead after goals from Michael Olunga and the first-ever national goal by Richard Odada – a penalty -, in the 3rd and 15th minutes respectively.
Rwanda grabbed their consolation six minutes after the hour mark when Olivier Nyiyozimana tapped home a freekick.
