Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Akbar Muderi\u2019s early goal was enough for Gasogi United to register a 1-0 win over \u2018struggling\u2019 Police FC during the Peace Cup semifinal first leg game held at Kigali Pele Stadium on Tuesday, April 16.<\/p>\n

The narrow win put Gasogi in pole position of reaching their first Peace Cup final ever ahead of a Police FC side which has underperforming since the beginning of 2024.<\/p>\n

Police paraded a winsome side with Didier Mugisha leading the attack and Muhadjiri Hakizimana and Abedi Bigirimana playing behind him as two number 10’s.<\/p>\n

Hesbon Rutonesha and Djibrine Akuki were both deployed in the heart of midfield while Eric Rutanga had a rare start at the back.<\/p>\n

After the early exchanges, Gasogi looked more composed and they controlled proceedings.<\/p>\n

The visitors took an early lead after just nine minutes of action through offensive midfielder Akbar Muderi.<\/p>\n

Gasogi looked threatening in attack with Serge Kabanda but Marc Nkubana and Rutanga at the back defended gallantly.<\/p>\n

Police had a host of decent chances to equalize the score but their front three of Mugisha, Hakizimana and Bigirimana were so wasteful on the day as they failed to utilize the chances.<\/p>\n

The defeat to Police FC is a big blow to Vincent Mashami who has a difficult task to overturn the result in the return leg to stand a chance of making it to the final and keep the club\u2019s Peace Cup dream alive, having last won it back in 2015.<\/p>\n

The second leg will take place on April 23 at Kigali Pele Stadium.<\/p>\n
