The old giants snatched the win through veteran striker Bokota Kamana Labama who struck on 67th minute winner to cancel out Eric Yirirwahandi’s equaliser twenty minutes earlier.

Upcoming player Muhadjili Hakizimana scored the other goal from a spot kick after skipper Eric Serugaba was brought down in the fortieth minute to keep Jean Baptist Kayiranga’s side at the summit of the league log with twenty five points from 13 games.

AS Kigali, who are second-placed beat Marines 2-0 in Rubavu to keep pressure on Kiyovu. Laudit Mavugo and Jimmy Mbaraga were on target for this season’s surprise package.

Police, with a game in hand, beat Amagaju 3-0 while Rayon came from behind to beat Musanze 3-2.  Police snatched the victory through goals which were scored by Kwizera Ernest, Jack Tuyisenge and Peter Kagabo who also took his goal tally to six goals scored since the season started in September last year.
