In a tightly contested match between APR FC Kigali and KMC FC, APR FC managed to secure a crucial 1-0 victory. The match's defining moment occurred in the first half when APR FC found the back of the net at 44:57, setting a scoreline that KMC FC could not overturn. Despite KMC FC's attempts to respond, they were unable to break through APR FC’s defense, which remained organized and vigilant throughout the match.

The statistical breakdown reveals a game of evenly matched opportunities, with both teams earning five corner kicks and committing similar numbers of fouls—seven by APR FC and five by KMC FC. This parity in set-piece situations indicated a balanced level of attacking intent but neither team managed to capitalize on these opportunities in the second half. The lack of effectiveness from these set-piece situations for both squads demonstrates the disciplined defensive setups employed by each team.

KMC FC's discipline was occasionally lacking as characterized by the single yellow card received in the second half at 56:12. Despite KMC’s attempts to press forward, their caution in not escalating foul counts suggests a potential hesitance in physical engagements, possibly leading to less aggressive ball recoveries. Conversely, APR FC maintained a clean disciplinary record with no bookings, potentially contributing to their ability to maintain focus and structure under pressure.

Offsides were equally distributed, with each team caught offside twice, indicating cautious defensive lines and awareness by both sides’ backlines. This awareness highlights their defensive teamwork and focus on maintaining shape rather than allowing any easy breakthroughs. The defensive structure thus played an integral role, but APR FC's offensively decisive moment before halftime was the crucial differentiator that earned them the victory.
