Striker Isaie Songa and Midfielder Imran Nshimiyimana inspired the Rwanda National Police Football Club to a 2-1 win over Mukuru in their opening match of the 2015/16 Azam National league played on Saturday away in Muhanga.
Isonga put his name on the score sheet just seven minutes of the game before Mukura canceled the lead in the 34th minute through Muhadjir Hakizimana through a free kick.
Police goalie Emery Mvuyekure became a hardcore for the opponents, denying them on some occasion, to take the lead.
The likes of Hegman Ngomirakiza, Jacques Tuyisenge, Songa and Fabrice Twagizimana, all missed chances to restore Police’s lead.
Coach Andre Cassa Mbugo's tactical change when he brought in Nshimiyimana to replace Muhammad Mushimiyimana in the second half, paid off for the law enforcers.
Nshimiyimana scored the winner just five minutes to the final whistle to send a warning as favourites for this season's league glory.
Elsewhere, SC Kiyovu couldn't break the spirit of the newcomers Bugesera FC away in Nyamata after both teams played a goalless draw.
