Sunday SC Kiyovu 2-2 Rayon Sports Miroplast 0-3 AS Kigali Rayon Sports came from behind twice to salvage a point against SC Kiyovu in their latest effort to retain their Azam Rwanda Premier League title, at Kigali Stadium, yesterday. Former Rayon player Fabrice Mugheni Kakule put SC Kiyovu ahead in the 25th minute off a Francis Mustafa corner, before Bonfils Caleb Bimenyimana equalised for the blues in the 53th minute through a spot kick after Jean-Paul Ahoyikuye held the ball in the area. Five minutes later, Mustafa restored Kiyovu’s lead from a Djuma Nizeyimana assist before Rayon leveled matters again, this time through Hussein ‘Tchabalala’ Shaban in the 78th minute.
