Rayon Sports Dominates Kiyovu 4-0 in Rwanda's Classic Derby

Rayon Sports FC claimed a decisive 4-0 victory over Kiyovu Sports at Kigali Pele Stadium in the latest installment of Rwanda’s Classic Derby. The game, known for its fierce rivalry between two of the country’s most popular football clubs, saw Rayon Sports dominate from start to finish, much to the delight of their fans.

The win comes at a crucial time for Rayon Sports, a club that has been through a challenging period marked by internal disputes and financial troubles. Over the last few years, conflicts within the club’s leadership created instability, impacting both the team’s performance and finances. The issues escalated to a point where the Rwanda Governance Board had to intervene, dissolving the existing executive committee and appointing a transitional team to restore order.

In a recent development aimed at uniting the club, former presidents of Rayon Sports came together in a symbolic reunion. This move was seen as a positive step toward healing past divisions and building a stable future for the club. Fans and players have responded with optimism, hoping that this unity in leadership will translate into success on the pitch.

The victory over Kiyovu Sports highlights the team’s improved form and focus. The Classic Derby is always a highly anticipated event, and the 4-0 result underscores Rayon Sports’ intent to be a strong contender in the league. The fans, known as #Gikundiro, filled Kigali Pele Stadium with cheers, celebrating not only the team’s on-field performance but also the club’s progress off the field.

With this win, Rayon Sports has set a promising tone for the season, combining strong play with a leadership that appears more united than in recent years. The club now looks to carry this momentum forward, hoping that the leadership’s renewed sense of purpose will guide them to even greater achievements.
