Musanze FC, strengthened by the presence of former Express FC and Vipers defender Shafik Bakaki, celebrated a 1-0 win, thanks to Peter Agbelover's decisive goal in the 51st minute at Ubworoherane Stadium.
Simon Tamale's Rayon Sport suffered a setback on Sunday evening, falling to Musanze FC in a tightly-contested Rwanda Premier League match.
Musanze FC, strengthened by the presence of former Express FC and Vipers defender Shafik Bakaki, celebrated a 1-0 win, thanks to Peter Agbelover's decisive goal in the 51st minute at Ubworoherane Stadium.
This match marked the second league appearance for goalkeeper Simon Tamale with 'Gikundiro'. Despite his efforts, the pursuit for his first league clean sheet remains elusive.
Musa Esenu, who impressively netted twice in the previous match against Etoile de l’Est, couldn't find the back of the net this time around. Similarly, Charles Bbaale remained goalless, observing the match from the sidelines.
Musanze's victory propels them to the top of the Rwanda Premier League table with 16 points after seven matches, leading by two points over reigning champions APR FC.

The 29-year-old goalminder kept goal for the Blues, while his compatriot Musa Esenu delivered a powerful brace. Additionally, Cranes winger Joackim Ojera assisted the second goal, contributing to the victory.
Following their unsuccessful attempt to progress to the CAF Confederation group stages and the recent departure of Algerian coach Yamen Zelfani, Rayon Sport faces an uphill battle to regain the league title, a feat they last achieved in the 2018/19 season.
