Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Ghanaian winger Samuel Pimpong stole the show as his double silenced Nyagatare Stadium and helped Mukura Victory Sports to register 4-2 away win over Sunrise FC on Saturday, February 17.<\/p>\n

Both teams were even until Pimpong broke the deadlock in the 43rd minute to put the visitors ahead. The winger beat his marker with pace before calmly controlling a cross on his chest and firing it through goalkeeper Didier Mfashingabo’s legs for the opener.<\/p>\n

After recess, Emmanuel Nsabimana, who was leading Mukura’s frontline, doubled the lead in the 64th minute as the Huye-based side took control of the game.<\/p>\n

Mukura\u2019s celebrations were short-lived by Yafesi Mubiru who scored two goals in five minutes (73rd and 78th) to restore parity for Sunrise FC.<\/p>\n

Jackson Mayanja and his side were hoping for at least a point at home but Mukura wanted to take home all three points and they fought for them till the last minute.<\/p>\n

It worked for them when substitute Bruno Etoundi scored the third in the 90th minute before Pimpong netted his second of the day with another spectacular finish in the 92nd minute to make it 4-2.<\/p>\n

Muhire wins it late for the Blues<\/p>\n

Rayon Sports\u2019 title hopes almost dealt a blow at Ngoma Stadium until midfielder Kevin Muhire scored the lone goal of the game in the 89th minute to beat Etoile de l\u2019Est 1-0 and send traveling supporters into a frenzy.<\/p>\n

With the win, Julien Mette\u2019s side closed the gap at the top, trailing three points behind league leaders APR FC who have two games in hand.<\/p>\n

Musanze FC settled for a 1-1 draw with Etincelles at Ubworoherane Stadium while Akbar Muderi’s 10th minute strike won the game for Gasogi United who beat struggling Gorilla FC 1-0 at Kigali Pele Stadium.<\/p>\n
