Rayon Sport came from behind to beat their traditional rivals Kiyovu on Saturday 2-1 with Burundian international winger Fuadi Ndayisenga scoring both goals.French coach Didier Gomes Da Roza said afterwards: “We need to stay focused to the title, which means we need to be well prepared in the remaining matches.”“It is going to be tough in the last five games, but this is the time we must show our true strength and character,” he noted.
