Uganda Cranes forward Denis Omedi was the standout performer on Wednesday, May 7, as his brace helped APR cruise to a 3-0 win over Marines at Kigali Pele Stadium and climb to the top of the Rwanda Premier League table.
Omedi opened the scoring after the early exchanges, finishing with precision to put APR in control.
His second came in the 67th minute, sealing a dominant performance and confirming APR’s intent in the title race.
The 30-year-old forward, who has continued to impress since joining the Rwandan giants, was a constant threat throughout the game and proved decisive in unlocking the Marines backline.
In between Omedi’s goals, in-form striker Djibril Ouatarra netted just before halftime to make it 2-0.
The win saw APR move two points clear of rivals Rayon Sports, who are scheduled to face Rutsiro on Thursday.
Head coach Darko Novic made two changes to the side that recently lifted the Peace Cup, handing starts to Frodouard Mugiraneza and Ramadhan Niyibizi.
The adjustments paid off as APR extended their unbeaten run and delivered another statement of intent in the title race.
Omedi’s latest performance adds to his growing reputation as a key attacking figure for both club and country. His speed, movement, and finishing have been instrumental in APR’s push for the league title.
