Rayon Sports head coach Robertinho Oliveira has attributed victory against Police FC to the job done by his assistant coaches when he was not around. The Blues beat Police FC 2-0 at Kigali Pelé Stadium on Saturday, January 4, to maintain their eight-point lead at the top of Rwanda Premier League. Robertinho couldn’t lead club’s mudweek training sessions prior to the game as he was undergoing operation on his eye during his festive holidays in Brazil but commended his backroom for the 'very good’ job done while preparing the team for the match in his absence.
