Rayon Sports continued their impressive run after winning the 2026 CECAFA Kagame Cup, defeating Kenyan side Mathare United 3-0 in a friendly match played at Kigali Pelé Stadium on Sunday, August 16, 2026.
The match, played at 6 p.m., saw Rayon Sports field a side largely made up of players who have not regularly featured in the starting lineup, but the team maintained the momentum from its successful CECAFA Kagame Cup campaign.
Rayon Sports opened the scoring through Boris in the 38th minute, before Elie Tatou doubled the advantage in the 83rd minute, with his corner kick finding its way directly into the net.
Daniel Muhoza completed the scoring four minutes later, netting in the 87th minute to seal a convincing 3-0 victory for the Rwandan champions.
The result gives Rayon Sports another confidence boost as the club prepares for the 2026 Super Cup, where it is expected to face Police FC, subject to the decision of the Rwanda Football Federation (FERWAFA) regarding the competition.
The victory also extends the momentum of a Rayon Sports side that went through the CECAFA Kagame Cup without losing a match and ultimately lifted the regional trophy.
