{{Police FC has ended the first leg of the 2012/13 Primus National Football league in style. }}
The youthful squad coached by Goran Kopunovic snatched a commanding 1-0 victory over Espoir on Saturday in Rusizi.
The solitary goal of the game was scored by striker Imran Nshimiyimana on 25th minute to help Police FC jump from third position to the summit of the Primus National Football League standings with 28 points in 14 matches played this season.
Police FC has dethroned SC Kiyovu to second position with 26 points while Rayon Sport is third position with 25 points.
Initially, Saturday’s match was supposed to be played a fortnight ago but was cancelled following a road accident that claimed the lives of four police officers while escorting the team to Rusizi.
Espoir remain on tenth position with 14 points as the league standings remains unchanged for other clubs.
Head coach Goran said that he is happy for the victory. “It was a tough and difficult earned victory. This is good for the players’ confidence.”
“We are on top of the league table with 28 points and the journey continues. We will resume with training on Monday, no time to rest as the second round gets closer,” added Goran.
The second leg of the Primus National Football League gets underway on January 26.
