AS Kigalicoach Eric Nshimiyimana says his team is determined to register maximum points when they host Sunrise FC in the first match of the league’s second round on Friday at Kigali Regional Stadium.
The City of Kigali-sponsored side is in fourth place on the league log with 29 points and will be looking to beat the Eastern Province outfit and leapfrog Police FC, who have 31 points in third place. Sunrise FC are 9th with 18 points, level with tenth-placed SC Kiyovu, who entertain fifth-placed Bugesera FC on Saturday.
"We will go into Friday’s game looking for nothing less than a win and I believe we are capable of achieving our goal. My players are aware that they will have to be focused throughout the game to avoid the mistakes of the earlier (corresponding) fixture,” said Nshimiyimana.
Andrew Chibi Ibe’s Sunrise FC beat AS Kigali 1-0 on match day one at the same venue before the latter’s home ground in Nyagatare was cleared by FERWAFA to host league matches due to poor condition.
The lone goal was netted by striker Cyprien Sinamenye.
Rayon Sports lead the league table with 36 points, two points ahead of reigning champions APR FC, while Police FC are third with their forward Dany Usengimana leading the top scorer’s chart with 12 goals.
