Rayon Sports fans were filled with joy and pride after their team secured a hard-fought 1-0 win over Police FC at Kigali Pele Stadium on Sunday, May 11.

The atmosphere was electric as thousands of supporters in blue and white erupted into cheers at the final whistle. Their team, down to ten men for the last 15 minutes, had shown incredible resilience and heart to protect their narrow lead.

With Police piling on the pressure and coming close to equalizing, every clearance and save from Rayon felt like a victory in itself. Goalkeeper Patient Ndikuriyo’s key stop in the first half and the defense’s grit became talking points among jubilant fans.

The win not only lifted spirits but also returned Rayon to the top of the table.

At the stadium, drums, chants, and dancing were the natural response from all the Blues fans to celebrate the crucial victory.
