Rayon Sports finally exorcised their eight-game winless streak against traditional rivals Kiyovu Sports after a 4-0 convincing win in Saturday’s Rwanda Premier League week 8 game held at Kigali Pele Stadium. Rayon hadn't defeated the Green Baggies since 2021 until they broke the jinx thanks to a brace from Hadji Iragua with Fall Ngagne and Adama Bagayogo each scoring a goal. Kiyovu's attacking pair Desire Mugisha and Sherif Bayo looked threatening from the early stages but Rayon were able to soak the pressure as they hit full gear. Both teams had chances to open the scoring in the first half but they failed to convert their chances. Rayon Sports’ back four led by Aimable Nsabimana were very resolute as they defended gallantly. Rayon's incessant pressure yielded dividends in the second half as they broke the deadlock in the 56th minute through Hadji Iraguha. The forward made it 2-0 in the 77th minute with another fine strike.
