Bugesera FC thrashed Pepiniere 5-0 in a second division football league Pool B match played on Sunday at Kicukiro artificial turf.

"Our major aim is qualifying for next season’s topflight division and I believe we are on track to achieve that target,” Bugesera head coach Noah Nsaziyinka told Times Sport on Monday.

In Pool A, despite drawing 0-0 with Gasabo, Sunrise FC still lead with 38 points, Sorwathe who beat Akagera 5-0, are second with 35, Rwamagana who drew 0-0 with Isonga are third with 33, while Isonga stand fourth with 31 points.
