Striker Yannick Bizimana believes APR FC still has a chance of winning the league title despite trailing league leaders Kiyovu SC by three points in the title race.

Bizimana was on target as the army side beat relegated Espoir FC 2-1 on Sunday, May 7, at Bugesera Stadium, to keep pressure on Kiyovu whose victory over Musanze put them in pole position to win their first league title in 30 years.

With just two matches remaining down the road, the former Rayon Sports forward said his side will hang on in the title race until the last minute.

"Looking mathematically, retaining the league title is still possible for us. We are firmly focused on the remaining two matches to see what happens,” Bizimana said.

We still have a chance and we must fight until the end."

To keep their chances alive, Ben Moussa’s men will have to win their two remaining matches and pray that SC Kiyovu somehow drop points.

"We have every opportunity to retain the title for a third consecutive time, and we need to win and see what will happen to Kiyovu," he added.

APR FC will face Rwamagana City before ending the league campaign against a Gorilla FC side which stunned Rayon Sports 3-1 to dent their title hopes on Sunday at Kigali Pele Stadium.
