Second leg: APR vs Kiyovu Sports (2-0)

Kick-off: 3pm, Kigali Pele Stadium

APR FC and SC Kiyovu will square off on Wednesday in the second leg of the Peace Cup Round of 16 at Kigali Pele Stadium, with a place in the quarterfinals at stake.

APR carry a strong advantage into the clash after securing a 2–0 victory in the first leg at the same venue. A draw will be enough for the army side to book their ticket to the next round.

Head coach Adel Abderrahim is expected to be without Ghanaian midfielder Daud Yousif, who is reportedly serving a disciplinary suspension imposed by the club. Yousif is currently training with Intare FC pending further internal measures.

The winner of the tie will face Gasogi United, who became the first team to reach the quarterfinals after eliminating Musanze FC with a 3–2 aggregate victory on Tuesday.

Elsewhere, AS Kigali must secure a win against Marines FC at Kigali Stadium to advance, following a 2–2 draw in the first leg at Umuganda Stadium in Rubavu.

In another Round of 16 fixture, Mukura VS will host Etincelles FC at Kamena Stadium, needing only a draw after claiming a 2–1 first-leg win in Rubavu.

Meanwhile, Bugesera FC travel to face Amagaju FC seeking at least a draw after winning the first leg 2–1 in Nyamata.
