Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Forward Muhajiiri Hakizimana was on the scoresheet on his Rwanda Premier League return as Police survived a scare after beating Gorilla FC 3-2 in a five-goal thriller during a highly-competitive match day 16 game held Friday, January 20, at Bugesera Stadium.<\/p>\n

The Rwanda international signed on a six-month deal after he failed to agree on a new deal with Al-Kholood FC in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Hakizimana, who was torn in the flesh of the Gorilla FC defense, opened his goal account on his second spell as he converted a penalty in the 17th minute to give Police FC the lead following an infringement in the 18-yard box.<\/p>\n

Didier Mugisha doubled the lead in the 37th minute as he connected beautifully inside the box after a swift attack from the right before both teams headed into the half time.<\/p>\n

Police were in total control in the second half as Gorilla\u2019s striking force led by Johnson Adeaga pushed to pull one back but failed to get access to the ball.<\/p>\n

After the break, Police FC made it 3-0 in the 50th minute through Ntwali Evode who hit a screamer from 30 yards.<\/p>\n

Mashami\u2019s men thought they were guaranteed to grab but Gorilla kept believing for a comeback after Adeaga scored from the spot in the 77th minute after Eric Rutanga fouled him in the penalty box.<\/p>\n

Mercy Duru Ikenna, who was lively at the right side of defense, sent a superb ball into the penalty box which was beautifully controlled by Johnson Adeaga. The striker then set it into the path of Simeon Iradukunda who hit a ferocious effort into the roof of the net in the 86th minute to make it 3-2.<\/p>\n

Both teams held their might in the final minutes of the game as the encounter ended 3-2 in favor of Police FC.<\/p>\n

In the other game of the day, Kiyovu FC and Gasogi United settled for a goalless draw in a feisty encounter held at Bugesera Stadium as the Green Baggies\u2019 struggles for a win over Gasogi continued.<\/p>\n

The game saw almost all the chances being created in the first half with glaring misses from both sides.<\/p>\n

Erissa Ssekisambu could have put Kiyovu ahead in the 32nd minute but agonizingly shot wide with the opposing goalkeeper at his mercy.<\/p>\n

Godwin Blessing and Maxwell Djoumekou also squandered glorious chances as the encounter ended in a barren draw.<\/p>\n
