Police striker Justin Mico was the first player to into the referee’s book in the 67th minute and ten minutes later he was followed by AS Kigali’s Eric Iradukunda.

AS Kigali, who started the day in third place with 26 points, one ahead of Police FC could have reduced the deficit but their top scorer Emmanuel Sebanani failed to beat goalie Emmanuel Bwanakweli on two occasions while Michel Ndahinduka also missed two clear scoring chances.

"Criticism and critique are very much a part of our business, but people should do be doing positive criticism and not just focus on the negatives all the media,” Seninga said in what was a thinly veiled attack on some sports journalists.

With the win, their eighth of the campaign, Police jumped on third place with 28 points, while Eric Nshimiyimana’s AS Kigali dropped to fourth position with 26 points.
