Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Defender Sifa Gloria Nibagwire can\u2019t hold her excitement after her stoppage time equalizer saved the day for AS Kigali Women who traveled to Nzove Skol Stadium to earn a hard fought 1-1 draw against Rayon Sports Women on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Rayon Sports WFC took an early lead in the 6th minute through striker Jeanine Mukandayisenga but the defending champions spoiled their party when Nibagwire headed home a 96th minute equalizer to ensure both teams share spoils.<\/p>\n

“We had a tough first half, playing under pressure after conceding an early goal,” Nibagwire said in a post-match interview.<\/p>\n

“But we improved in the second half, creating several big chances. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find the back of the net due to Rayon’s exceptional defense. Thankfully, we managed to get a last-minute equalizer.”<\/p>\n

AS Kigali are arguably in their own league as they look to defend the league title they have won 13 times despite newly-promoted Rayon Sports WFC showing signs of giving the champions a hard time this season.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the Citizens\u2019 title credentials, Nibagwire said, “this season, we have a worthy challenger in Rayon Sports. We appreciate their establishment of a women’s team, as it raises the level of the league and helps us improve.”<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s draw left both teams tied on 4 points after two matches. Inyemera WFC lead the table with 6 points and are level on points with Bugesera WFC.<\/p>\n
