AS Kigali new signing Franklin Onyeabor was delighted to score his first ever goal in the Rwanda Premier League.

The former Sunrise FC defender scored a 66th minute winner as his team defeated Police FC 1-0 in a rescheduled league game held at Kigali Pele Stadium on Sunday, November 10.

Onyeabor said that he is glad to score the first league goal which propelled his side to the victory.

"I am happy with the goal and I thank God for it. We played against a very good team (Police FC) and I am happy I was able to score the winning goal," he said.

"This is my first ever goal in the Rwanda Premier League and I am looking forward to scoring more as the season progresses."

Onyeabor was one of the standout players at Sunrise FC during the 2023/24 season despite the fact that the team was unable to survive the topflight relegation.

He joined AS Kigali in July on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
