In the second round games, Rwanda defeated the Republic of the Congo 4–3 on penalties after a 2–0 loss on 20 July and a 2–0 win in the second leg on 2 August. Rwanda qualified for the group stage (third round) where they were drawn with Nigeria, South Africa and Sudan.{{cite web|title=Rwanda: Congo Lodges a Complaint to CAF Over Daddy Birori's Identity|url=http://allafrica.com/stories/201408120196.html|publisher=Rwanda Focus {{subscription required|via=AllAfrica.com}}|accessdate=19 August 2014|date=10 August 2014}}{{cite web|title=Nigeria: 2015 AFCON Qualifiers - S'africa, Sudan, Rwanda Test Eagles' Might|url=http://allafrica.com/stories/201408110114.html|publisher=Daily Independent (Lagos) {{subscription required|via=AllAfrica.com}}|accessdate=19 August 2014|date=8 August 2014}} The Congolese Football Association also complained about the eligibility of Birori.{{cite web|url=http://www.cafonline.com/football/news/20975-rwanda-disqualified-congo-qualify.html|title=Rwanda disqualified, Congo qualify|date=17 August 2014|accessdate=18 August 2014|publisher=Confederation of African Football}}
On 18 August, CAF announced that they had suspended the player for using two different names and dates of birth.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28828135|title=Rwanda disqualified from Africa Nations Cup qualifiers|date=17 August 2014|accessdate=18 August 2014|publisher=BBC Sport}} The Rwandan passport Daddy Birori listed the date of birth as 12 December 1986 while the Congolese passport listed the name Etekiama Agil Taddy with a date of birth of 13 December 1990.{{cite web|last1=Kamasa |first1=Peter |title=Afcon: Rwanda to appeal disqualification decision |url=http://www.newtimes.co.rw/news/index.php?i=15818&a=79313 |publisher=New Times (Rwanda) |accessdate=19 August 2014 |date=18 August 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140820210644/http://www.newtimes.co.rw/news/index.php?i=15818&a=79313 |archivedate=20 August 2014 }}
In addition, Rwanda were disqualified from the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualification competition for attempting to mislead CAF. In a statement CAF said that the "Rwandan Football Federation (FERWAFA) maintained that to their knowledge the player Dady Birori had one identity" yet that "investigations revealed that he was summoned as Etekiama Agiti Tady by FERWAFA to join the national team of Rwanda." CAF also overturned the result of the Rwanda victory over Republic of the Congo on 2 August, as a result Congo took the place of Rwanda in Group A of the third round. Stephen Constantine, the coach of Rwanda remarked that "I am bitterly disappointed with CAFs[sic] decision, the same complaint was made by Libya and it was dismissed so what has changed ![sic]"{{cite web|last1=Constantine|first1=Stephen|title=tweet|url=https://twitter.com/StephenConstan/status/501053469017772033|publisher=twitter}}
