Star forward Lague Byiringiro leads Rwandan players who found the back of the net from their respective leagues over the weekend while Noam Emeran also set up one in the Dutch Eerste Divisie.

Amavubi skipper Djihad Bizimana was superb in the heart of midfield for FC Kryvbas who beat Kolos Kovalivka 3-0. It is, however, not the best way goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari expected at TS Galaxy as he continues to struggle for game time between the posts, putting his national team spot in danger ahead of Senegal AFCON qualifier.
