APR FC face Musanze seeking to go second

Wednesday APR FC vs Musanze 3:30pm Gicumbi vs Amagaju APR FC will host Musanze FC in the Azam Rwanda Premier League at Kigali Stadium on Saturday looking for nothing less than a win to go second on the table before the league takes a break after match day ten. Jimmy Mulisa’s side sit in third place with 16 points, four behind leaders SC Kiyovu and three adrift AS Kigali, who played a goalless draw against Bugesera FC on Saturday. Victory for APR over Musanze, in the 13th place with eight points, level with the bottom three teams, will take them one point ahead of AS Kigali on 19 points, one behind SC Kiyovu. “We will go into the game looking for nothing less than a win and we believe we can achieve our target. We have to correct our mistakes from the last match and stick to our game plan,” Mulisa told Times Sport. Mulisa was left a frustrated and a disappointed man after his team was held to a goalless draw by ten-man Amagaju FC on Thursday at Nyagisenyi Stadium in Nyamagabe district. After that match, Mulisa, admitted that it was two points lost than one gained in a season where his team is chasing a record-extending 17th league title. APR went into match-day 9 fixture against a side in relegation zone, well aware that victory would take them to the summit of the table but with the draw, they stayed in third place but just a point better than the next four teams below them, including defending champions Rayon Sports, who are 4th.
