Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Amagaju Football Club beat 2-0 SC Kiyovu at Huye Stadium to climb to 14th place with 33 points, leaving Muhazi United in danger of relegating.<\/p>\n

Amagaju FC came in the game knowing that winning the game would boost their chances of staying in top division. However, despite opening a three-point gap between then and 15th placed Muhazi United, their spot in the top tier league isn\u2019t guaranteed yet.<\/p>\n

The two teams will face off in the season-deciding match and a win for Muhazi United would still send Amagaju into second division on goal-difference.<\/p>\n

Just five minutes after starting the game Eduard Ndayishimiye opened the scoring as Amagaju led the game at the break. The Nyamagabe-based side doubled the lead in the 78th through Narcise Masudi as they secured the three points of the day.<\/p>\n

Amagaju sit in 14th place with 33 points, three ahead with Muhazi United, who face title-chasing APR on Saturday. Then the two relegation-threatened sides will be involved in a match will likely decide who drop into the second division.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, despite the loss, Kiyovu are already safe from relegation as they are seven points clear of the drop zone.<\/p>\n
