Unity Sports Club head coach Yves Namahoro said after the game that he was disappointed with the final result in a match that his team dominated. “On Saturday we missed some key players who are part of Isonga Academy team that travelled to Ivory Coast and others were sitting for national exams but we still played well and we’re disappointed not to win,” said Namahoro.

Pepiniere FC, who were relegated from the Azam Rwanda Premier League last season, thrashed Gitikinyoni 4-0 to jump up to third place in Pool A with seven points, one behind leaders Unity. editorial@newtimes.co.rw
