In the hot afternoon of January 31, Police FC faced off with Rayon Sports at a packed Nyamirambo Stadium. Whereas Police FC largely dominated the game, it was Rayon that broke the deadlock, through a goal scored by their striker Emmanuel Imanishimwe.

It was not long after he had scored in the 30th minute that Police FC striker, Jacques Tuyisenge equalized through a penalty kick in the 42nd minute.

The game ended in a draw, but Police FC masterminded well taken spot kicks that saw the side emerge winners with a score of 6-5.

Speaking after the triumph, Police FC head coach Andre Cassa Mbungo, expressed belief in his squad’s ability to go all the way and lift the trophy.

“We controlled the game very well and had the better chances. We trained well and the lads did their best; that is why we were rewarded with a win. The players are confident in their abilities and are ready to go all the way,” he said.
