Etincelles 2-0 Espoir

Sunrise 1-2 Marines

AS Kigali moved within one point to the top to restore their hopes in the title race after a narrow 1-0 win over Gorilla FC on Saturday at Bugesera Stadium.

Olivier Seif Niyonzima scored the lone goal that earned the visitors maximum points over Gorilla in a match that they clearly dominated.

With the victory, Andre Casa Mbungo’s men ended their two-match winless run, having suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Police before Rwamagana pulled another surprise 1-0 victory against them during match day 18.

AS Kigali are now back to the title race and will be glad to see table leaders APR slip when they face arch rivals Rayon Sports in on Sunday’s league derby at Huye Stadium.

Elsewhere, Etincelles beat Espoir FC 2-0 at Umuganda Stadium to extend their unbeaten run to 10 games.

Sadjati Niyonkuru and Ibrahim Mugisha each found the back of the net in seven minutes of the second half to clinch a win for the Rubavu-based side.

Meanwhile, Marine beat Sunrise 2-1 at Nyagatare Stadium while Evode Ntwari and Eric Nsabimana were on target as Police beat Mukura 2-0 at Muhanga Stadium.
