POLICE head coach Goran Kopunovic has tasked his side to win all the remaining games in the Primus National Football League if the club is to land its first silverware.The law enforcers are one point clear of Mukura after their 0-0 draw against champions APR on Saturday and Kopunovic now wants his players to treat their seven remaining matches as cup finals."The gap is very small, so we cannot say that we are favorites. What we need to do now is make sure we try to win all our remaining games,” Kopunovic said before taking his team through training drills at Ferwafa artificial turf yesterday.Police have registered 10 wins, five draws and two loses – their best league run in years. But even that magnificent run has not been enough for them to have a healthy lead largely due to the good form of Mukura, who also have a run of 10 wins, 4 draws and 3 loses in 17 games.The top two are being closely pursued by champions APR on 31 points, 4 points behind Police but the former have a game in hand, while Rayon Sports and Kiyovu have an outside chance of winning the league.For the first time in many years, the league has had three different teams leading the log which include APR, Mukura and Police.With seven matches left, the race for the title is difficult to predict as all the top three have difficult matches.Police’s remaining matches                          Vs Kiyovu   Vs La Jeunesse                                                  Vs AS Kigali                                                     Vs IsongaVs EspoirVs MarinesVs MukuraAPR’s remaining matchesVs Etincelles Vs MukuraVs La Jeunesse  Vs AmagajuVs Espoir Vs KiyovuVs Rayon Sport Vs NyanzaMukura’s remaining fixturesVs MarinesVs APRVs AmagajuVs NyanzaVs AS KigaliVs KiyovuVs Police
