Francis Haringingo's men looked unstoppable on Sunday, October 23, as they comfortably beat Espoir 3-0 during the league clash at Kigali Stadium to make it five straight victories.

In-form Raphael Oliseh Osaluwe opened the scoring after 23 minutes before winger Moussa Essenu doubled the Blues' lead 10 minutes later as the visitors' defense struggled to cope with Rayon's pressure before their home supporters.

The hosts maintained their ball possession in the second half as they were eager to score more goals against a hapless Espoir side whose leaky defense looked likely to concede goals at any time.

The Rusizi-based side managed to play nice football from the midfield. But their resistance failed to materialize when Didier Mucyo curled the ball outside the penalty area to give Rayon the third goal that summed up the afternoon with a victory of the Blues.

Rayon Sports are now top of the league table with 15 points after five games despite playing one fewer game than Kiyovu who climbed to second with 13 after a 1-0 narrow victory over Mukura at Kamena Stadium.

Abedi Bigirimana scored the lone goal that secured all three points for the Green Baggies at the hands of the Huye-based side.

In other fixtures, Bugesera beat Rwamagana City 2-0 through goals from Mampuya Makaya and Idarusi Cyubahiro at either half while Musanze beat Sunrise 1-0.
