We must utilise our goal scoring opportunities,” added the Frenchman, who suffered his first defeat as Rayon coach on Wednesday.This season the Blues have won 13, drawn two and lost four matches in the league. They have scored a total 40 goals, and conceded 19.In order to win their seventh league title, the Nyanza-based club must avoid losing valuable points in their remaining seven games against Kiyovu, Police, Isonga, Etincelles, Muhanga, Musanze and Espoir.
