Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The 2021\/22 Rwanda Premier League season came to an end last week with defending champions APR FC retaining the league trophy.<\/p>\n

It was a nerve-wrecking season as the battle for the league trophy had to go all the way to the last day with APR edging out Kiyovu by a single point to become champions.<\/p>\n

The race to stay in the top flight was very tight too with as many as three clubs struggling to avoid relegation<\/p>\n

Generally, it was an exciting season full of action and Times Sport brings to you statistics from the 2021\/22 campaign.<\/p>\n

510 goals were scored<\/b><\/p>\n

In a total of 480 games played in the season, 510 goals were scored which averages a little over a goal per game.<\/p>\n

Shabani Hussein of AS Kigali was the top scorer with fifteen goals followed by Abedi Bigirimana of Kiyovu and Samuel Nwosu Chukwudi of Etoile who had 13 each.<\/p>\n

Out of the top three scorers, it was only Nwosu who netted all his goals from open play without a single penalty.<\/p>\n

Gicumbi scored the least number of goals<\/b><\/p>\n

Gicumbi netted 16 goals in 30 games throughout the season which was the lowest in the league and they ultimately finished last on the league table.<\/p>\n

Least number of wins<\/b><\/p>\n

Gicumbi also won just two games throughout the season which was the lowest in the Premier League for the 2021\/2022 season.<\/p>\n

Etoile conceded more goals<\/b><\/p>\n

Despite having a player who was the second top goal-scorer, the defence of Etoile leaked the most goals. The club conceded a total of 44 goals which was the highest in the league.<\/p>\n

AS Kigali\u2019s draws derailed their title challenge<\/b><\/p>\n

AS Kigali could have been singing a different song if not for their many draws.<\/p>\n

They drew as many as 13 games, the highest in the league. If they had won half of those games, they could have probably challenged for the title.<\/p>\n

Kiyovu conceded the fewest goals<\/b><\/p>\n

Kiyovu let in just 16 goals in 30 games which was very impressive. Their back four led by Thierry Ndayishimiye and Ali Serumogo did a perfect job<\/p>\n

Champions APR scored the most goals<\/b><\/p>\n

APR banged in 41 goals making them the top scorers in the league this season.<\/p>\n

Ironically, no APR player was able to net more than 10 league goals as they did not rely only on one player.<\/p>\n

Individual Accolades<\/b><\/p>\n

Two Ghanaian players namely Peter Agblevor and William Opoku Mensah carved a niche for themselves in the league as they all scored against the two top clubs (Rayon and Kiyovu).<\/p>\n

Agblevor, who features for Etoile, netted a brace against APR in Ngoma and also scored against Kiyovu in Kigali with all the games ending in a draw.<\/p>\n

Opoku Mensah, on the other hand, scored against APR and Kiyovu at Huye with both goals coming from penalties.<\/p>\n
