Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Espoir FC moved to the summit of Group B in the second division league after Sunday\u2019s crucial 1-0 victory over Vision FC at Rusizi Stadium.<\/p>\n

Marcel Lomami\u2019s side went into the game knowing that a win would see them leapfrog Vision FC to the top and they accomplished the mission before their home supporters, even when they were reduced to 10 men.<\/p>\n

Espoir dominated possession on their familiar, yet challenging, home pitch but they were unable to find the back of the net as the visitors remained resilient until half time break.<\/p>\n

After recess, Lomami made two changes, bringing in Gilbert Munyeshyaka and Noel Mutomona for Adolphe Nsanzingomayijuru and Salim Saleh respectively.<\/p>\n

The substitutes made an impact the game as Espoir took control of the match and it was Munyeshyaka who fired a volley into Vision FC\u2019s net in the 62nd minute to put Espoir ahead.<\/p>\n

Vision pushed for an equalizer on different occasions Espoir\u2019s defense stood firm and avoided the visitors\u2019 attacking threat.<\/p>\n

Espoir played the stoppage time with a man down after midfielder James Ishimwe was sent off for a second bookable offense in the 92nd minute but his team held on to winning the game to lead Group B standings with 32 points, while Vision FC dropped to second with 31 points.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, AS Muhanga beat United Stars 1-0 to narrow the gap to within two points at the top of Group B.<\/p>\n
