APR head coach Darko Novic was not impressed by his team's conversion rate despite defeating Kiyovu Sports 3-0 in Wednesday’s rescheduled Rwanda Premier League game at Kigali Pele Stadium.

The Serbian gaffer mentioned that the rate at which his side missed opportunities is not encouraging as they could have buried Kiyovu by an avalanche of goals.

"I am not happy at all to be honest, we should be scoring seven goals. When you miss chances like empty nets, I won't be happy. In the future, we have to take our chances," Novic told the press in a post-match interview.

APR won Wednesday’s match without the likes of injured Victor Mbaoma and Seidu Dauda Yussif who is out due to illness.

Commenting on their situation, Novic said, "Victor is recovering and will be back soon but, for Dauda, we don't know the exact time. Initially, we thought he had malaria but it is an infection and his return will be determined based on the doctor's report."
