Friday Quarter-finals, first Leg Police 0-0 APR Sunrise 2-0 Bugesera Mukura 1-0 Amagaju It was a tight clash between former winners against holders as Police and archrivals APR shared goalless spoils in their quarter-finals’ first-leg on Friday at Kicukiro Stadium – in Peace Cup.
The return-leg and decider game will be played on Thursday next week with the aggregate winner progressing to the last four. Any draw, other than a goalless draw, will see Albert Joel Mphande’s Police FC ousting the league champions.
