Denis Omedi has expressed his delight after scoring on his debut for APR FC, helping the Rwandan champions secure a 2-0 victory over AS Kigali and book a spot in the Heroes Cup final.
The Ugandan striker took to social media after the match, tweeting: “Couldn’t have wished for a better debut. Rooting for many more APR FC.”
Omedi, who joined APR in the January transfer window, made an immediate impact by converting a 58th-minute penalty with confidence, sending AS Kigali goalkeeper Adolphe Cyuzuzo the wrong way.
His goal set the tone for APR’s victory, with Ramadan Niyibizi later sealing the win with a stunning free-kick in the 79th minute.
The forward’s performance has already earned praise from APR fans, who are hopeful he can maintain his goal-scoring form as the club pushes for more silverware.
Omedi’s arrival has added firepower to APR’s attack, and his debut goal is a statement of intent ahead of the Rwanda Premier League title race and the upcoming Heroes Cup final against Police FC on February 1 at Amahoro National Stadium.
Omedi’s confidence and hunger for more success will be crucial as APR look to reclaim the top spot in the league and establish dominance in Rwandan football.
With his goal-scoring debut, the Ugandan striker has already won over his new supporters, and all eyes will be on him in the final as he aims to deliver another decisive performance.
