Espoir FC showed their resilience as they played the final 15 minutes of the game with a man down but went on to register a shock 1-0 win over Interforce in an intense Ferwafa Second Division encounter at Bugesera stadium on Saturday.
Striker Jimmy Kibengo scored what proved to be that matchwinner in the 70th as the former topflight side cruised to their second victory in a row, recovering from 2-1 defeat to Vision FC in the league opener.
The team was reduced to 10 men when Djihad Rucogoza was shown a straight red card in the 77th minute, just 11 minutes after coming on a substitute for Frank Lomami.
