Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>An 81st minute goal from striker Yafesi Mubiru was all that Sunrise FC needed to beat AS Kigali at the Kigali Pele Stadium in a Rwanda National Primus League week 10 game on Sunday, November 5.<\/p>\n

The result extended the Citizens\u2019 winless streak to four consecutive games, putting Andre Casa Mbungo’s future at the club in jeopardy.<\/p>\n

With new head coach Ugandan Jackson Mayanja on the touchline, Sunrise came into the game motivated as they controlled the game from the onset to the end.<\/p>\n

The visitors created a number of decent chances but Yafesi Mubiru and Robert Mukongotya could not capitalize them until the former bundled home the match winner with nine minutes to full time.<\/p>\n

AS Kigali, who were without injured shot stopper Yves Kimenyi, also had Erisa Ssekisambu in attack and his experience with Sunrise from last season–in which he missed a penalty that cost Kiyovu Sports the title–seems to be haunting him as he was far from his best on the day.<\/p>\n

On the other side, Mubiru broke his goal drought this season when he snatched an 81st-goal that earned Sunrise maximum points. The club\u2019s traveling fans were excited to see their team coming back to winning ways after a string run of poor from that cost then coach Hassan Muhire.<\/p>\n

Both sides held on in the final nine minutes of the game as Sunrise run away with a deserving 1-0 victory.<\/p>\n

Other Games<\/p>\n

Etincelles recorded a hard fought 3-2 victory over Bugesera FC at Umuganda Stadium in Rubavu. The home side were 3-0 up by the 61st minute but survived a late scare as the Nyamata-based side fought back to score twice.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in Ngoma, Etoile de l’Est pipped Gasogi United by 1-0 as Sunday Inemesit\u2019s 57th minute strike made the difference.<\/p>\n
