Rwanda’s striker, Jules Ulimwengu, helped Rayon Sports score two goals against Atlabara Fc on the second day of the matches in group A.

On the 15th minute of the match Jules hit a free-kick which shook Atlabara’s net and he continued to put pressure on backward defenders of Atlabara, snatching the ball from Atlabara’s players on the 79th minute and with his right foot sent a stinging shot from midway of the field to score the second goal.

In the match played at Kigali stadium yesterday, Rayon completed six points because it also defeated TP Mazembe 1-0 in the opening match played at Amahoro Stadium.

                     Jules clinched 3 goals in CECAFA Kagame Cup 2019

Olivier Ovambe, a new coach of Rayon Sports, seems to have started the tournament with a lot of chances, since this comes as his second victory in only two matches of the tournament. If he keeps like this, this year’s peace cup might be ecstatic to Rayon’s fans, who are claimed to be the majority of Rwandans.  

Before the match began, both teams took a minute of silence to remember Azam TV journalists who were killed in a car accident in Singida, based in Tanzania.

Rayon’s coach did not change game tactic he used while facing off with TP Mazembe because 11 first lineups were the same.

Jean Claude Iranzi mounted in the field from right-wing position, leaving behind Eric Irankunda Radou. Eric Rutanga Alba, the captain, was on the left-wing position. Jules Ulimwengu was put on forward-striker’s position while Herve Rugwiro and Saidi Iragire played as backward defenders and Yves Kimenyi played in the goal.

Atlabara Fc showed that it was not capable of challenging the Rwanda’s Gikundiro because it was uncompetitive during its first match against KMC Fc.                                                     

                                Substitutions on Rayon’s side

Mirafa Nizeyimana substituted Olokwei Comodore, Said Irakoze substituted Jean Claude Iranzi and Yannick Bizimana replaced Hussein Cyiza. 

Atlabara’s players started the second half-time trying to calm the ball in the pitch and give quick passes to one on one, but rather Rayon discouraged them after breaking their deadlock on 79th minute.    

Rayon now leads group A with six points, TP Mazembe is the second with three points and KMC FC and Atlabara Fc have one point each.
