Ugandan striker, Musa Esenu hit an incredible brace to drive Rayon Sports to a 2-1 win over Etoile de l’Est in the Rwanda Premier League on Wednesday evening. The Blues were in Kigali Pele Stadium today to face a Ngoma-based club to round out a matchday 6 schedule.
Esenu put Rayons ahead after 30 minutes when he converted an excellent ball from Hadji Iraguha’s corner. He doubled the advantage with a left leg 10 minutes later, following a superb play from Joackiam Ojera.
Rayon Sports had to play the final 30 minutes with a man less after Burundian international Emmanuel Mvuyekure was sent off. However, Etoile de l’Est didn’t capitalize on their numerical advantage until the 90th minute, when Godspower Gabriel trimmed the deficit to 2-1.
A decent result for the Blues; Mauritanian Mohamed Wade took over as interim coach earlier this week as Yamen Zelfani left the club by mutual consent
The result means Rayon Sports moves into fourth place in the table, four points leaders Musanze FC, while Etoile de l’Est is just three points off the bottom.
What’s Next?
Rayon Sports are in Premier League action at Musanze on Sunday. On the other hand, Etoile de l’Est is set to take on Muhazi United in the Eastern provincial derby. The game will take place at Ngoma Stadium.
