Gorilla FC midfielder Victor Murdah admits his club is in a tight corner but they will do everything to win their two remaining games to avoid relegation.

Gorilla FC is among eight clubs which are at risk of being relegated should they not perform well in their final two games enough to win the relegation battle.

The bottom eight teams are separated by five points making the relegation last dance a tight one considering their closeness of the points build up.

IvaN Minnaert’s side sits 11th on the league table with 32 points which is just four points clear of bottom-placed Etoile de l'Est and Bugesera FC who occupy the 15th and 16th positions respectively.

They will face APR FC on May 4, before hosting Mukura Victory Sports in the last game of the league on May 12.

The two fixtures look too tough for Gorilla FC to overcome, but Murdah maintains they have to get the needed results to stand a chance to place topflight football.

"We are aware of the situation now, just one defeat you are gone. The point buildup is so close so we are taking our destiny into our own hands," Murdah told Times Sport.

"We are preparing well as usual and we are looking for a win in both games," he added

Despite Gorilla's uninspiring performances, the Cameroonian midfielder has been outstanding in their midfield churning excellent output on weekly basis.
