Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Rayon Sports head coach Yamen Zelfani says all is well between him and Bonheur Hategekimana and dismissed any possible rift with his shot stopper.<\/p>\n

The pair had to be separated by players as they were engaged in a heated bust up after Blues\u2019 2-1 win over Gasogi on Friday night at Kigali Pele\u0301 Stadium.<\/p>\n

In a post-match interview, Zelfani told the media that they have settled their difference as he explained what led to the brawl.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just ended there. It’s just a misunderstanding. Bonheur is a winner, he always wants to win and, when he conceded a goal, he made a reaction with his teammate which I did not appreciate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe players are now back together and everybody is happy,” the Tunisian added.<\/p>\n

Rayon were leading 2-0 before conceding an 89th minute penalty goal through Theodor Malipangou in the game in which the Blues won 2-1.<\/p>\n
