The Blues got to this stage after a 3-0 aggregate win over rivals Bugesera despite dominating the second leg where they could have registered a bigger score line had it not been for their misfiring strikers.<\/p>\n

Moussa Essenu scored the goals for the Blues which led them to the semifinals.<\/p>\n

Rayon Sport coach Jorge Paix\u00e3o has cautioned his side not to throw away chances like they did in the last round and expects a very tight match with few goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is always very tense and sometimes emotions get the better of the players when these two teams meet. But I have to prepare for the game in every way,\u201d He said.<\/p>\n

APR reached the semifinal with 2-1 goal aggregate after losing to Marines in the second leg.<\/p>\n

Holders AS Kigali eliminated Gasogi United with a 2-1 goal aggregate.<\/p>\n

The third place playoff is set for May 17 and the Final will be played on May 18.<\/p>\n

The winner will represent Rwanda in next year\u2019s CAF Confederation Cup.<\/p>\n

AS Kigali won the last edition of the Peace Cup in the 2018-2019, after beating Kiyovu Sports 2-1.<\/p>\n
