APR FC Complete Comeback Against Marines FC in Rwanda Premier League Opener<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KIGALI, RWANDA \u2014<\/strong> APR FC began their 2026\/2027 Rwanda Premier League campaign<\/strong> in winning fashion after coming from two goals down to defeat Marines FC 4\u20132<\/strong> in an entertaining opening-day encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marines FC made a strong start and stunned the defending giants with two goals in the first half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sultan Bobo<\/strong> opened the scoring in the 16th minute before Aim\u00e9 Ntirushwa<\/strong> doubled Marines FC\u2019s advantage in the 34th minute, putting APR FC under significant pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, APR FC responded before the break through Djibril Ouattara<\/strong>, who pulled one goal back in the 37th minute to give Taleb Abderrahman\u2019s side renewed hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the interval, APR FC completely turned the game around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memel Dao<\/strong> brought APR FC level in the 53rd minute before Ouattara struck again in the 63rd minute to complete his brace and put APR FC ahead for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The comeback was completed in the 83rd minute when Fidali<\/strong> found the net to make it 4\u20132<\/strong>, sealing three points for APR FC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

26 years without a league win over APR FC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result also maintained APR FC\u2019s remarkable record against Marines FC in the Rwanda Premier League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite Marines FC having spent 26 years in Rwanda\u2019s top flight<\/strong>, they have yet to record a league victory over APR FC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marines FC had entered the match with ambitions of finally ending that long wait, but APR FC\u2019s second-half response once again proved decisive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Taleb Abderrahman and his players, the comeback represents an important start to their new league campaign, while Marines FC will be left to reflect on a match in which they led 2\u20130 but ultimately finished empty-handed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final score: APR FC 4\u20132 Marines FC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
