SC Kiyovu 0–0 Police FC Etincelles 1–2 Bugesera FC Musanze FC 3–1 Marines FC Police FC’s Rwanda Premier League title hopes suffered a setback after being held to a goalless draw by SC Kiyovu at Kigali Pelé Stadium on Sunday. Both sides created several scoring opportunities in an entertaining first half, but solid goalkeeping at both ends ensured the teams went into the break level. Police came close to breaking the deadlock in the 70th minute through Elijah Ani, but his effort was well handled by the SC Kiyovu defence.

However, Abdallah Rukundo’s spot kick was brilliantly saved by Police goalkeeper Onesme Rukundo. The draw leaves Police FC at the top of the standings with 34 points from 17 matches, although their lead could come under threat if APR FC, Al Merrikh, or Al Hilal win their remaining games. SC Kiyovu remain fourth with 26 points. Elsewhere, Musanze FC registered an emphatic 3–1 victory over Marines FC at Ubworoherane Stadium. Hussein Shaban Tshabalala scored a brace in the 7th and 67th minutes, while Charles Nonso added a third just before halftime in the 43rd minute.
