The Rwanda league's traditional contenders, APR and Atraco, won their matches in the second week of the season to open up yet another close contest. Ten-time league champion APR beat Marines 2-0 at Nyamirambo stadium.

Abbas Rassou scored the opener in the sixth minute after tapping in a cross from Albert Ngabo. Substitute Labama Bokota who came on for the injured Albert Ngabo made sure that the military side attained maximum points when he headed a perfect cross from fellow substitute Omar Hitimana beating goalie Jean Bigirimana in the 67th minute.

Rivals Atraco came from behind to defeat Electrogaz by a 3-1 scoreline at Mumena ground. Jean Lomami, Johnson Bagoole and new signing Berkeli earned the taxi-men side maximum points. Meanwhile, SC Kiyovu who have been christened the ‘Manchester City’ of Rwanda fell to a shock defeat away to newcomers Etincelles at Umuganda Stadium.

A second half strike from Kadie Ntaganda sunk the old giants and earned maximum points for Etincelles who have won their two matches. Mukura's poor start to the season continued yesterday as they were beaten 3-1 by visiting Amagaju at Huye Stadium.

Bosco Gasana bagged a hat trick to earn Amagaju all three points in a hotly contested Southern Province derby. Meddi Kagera scored the consolation goal for the home side. Musanze were held to a goalless draw by visiting side Police, a result which earned both clubs their first point of the season.

Meanwhile, Rayon Sport were held to a 2-2 draw on Sunday by AS Kigali in a match played at Nyamirambo Stadium.
