On Saturday, March 29, 2025, Rayon Sports hosted Mukura VS in Matchday 22 of the Rwanda Premier League.
The match ended with Mukura securing a 1-0
victory, leaving Rayon Sports at 46 points, four ahead of APR FC, while Mukura
reached 33 points.
Mukura’s only goal came in the 74th minute
when Samson Oladosu struck a powerful shot that Rayon Sports' goalkeeper
couldn’t stop. Rayon Sports had earlier thought they had scored in the 32nd
minute through Biramahire Abeddy, but the goal was ruled offside.
Despite several attempts from Rayon Sports,
including free kicks from Muhire Kevin and efforts from Biramahire Abeddy,
Mukura's defense remained solid. Goalkeeper Nikolas Sebwato made crucial saves,
denying Rayon Sports multiple scoring opportunities.
Both teams made several substitutions in the
second half, with Rayon Sports bringing in Aziz Bassane Koulagna and Kanamugire
Roger, while Mukura introduced Sunzu Bonheur and Niyonizeye Fred to reinforce
their squad.
Mukura’s victory dealt a blow to Rayon Sports'
title hopes, as they needed a win to strengthen their lead in the championship
race. With APR FC closely trailing behind, the competition remains intense.
Rayon Sports must now regroup and prepare for
their next fixtures, aiming to maintain their position at the top of the table.
Rayon Sports lost to Mukura VS 1-0.
Rayon Sports continues to slow down
in the title race despite being at the top of the league.
