Police FC defeated Rayon Sports 4-3 on penalties at Kigali Pele Stadium on Sunday, January 28, to book their place in the 2024 Heroes Cup final with APR FC.

Vincent Mashami’s side was on the brink of elimination when Heritier Luvumbu netted a stunning free kick in the 57th minute but Peter Agblevor rescued the law enforcers with an equalizer in the 67th minute to force the game into the penalty shootouts which Police won to qualify for the final.

From the blast of the whistle, both teams made some vital incursions to each other’s half as they sought for an early opener.

Agblevor, who was leading Police FC attack, was torn in the flesh of the Rayon Sports as he maintained his composure upfront any time he had the ball.

Rayon depended on midfielder Luvumbu who operated just behind Charles Bbaale.

There were decent chances in the first half but the defense and goalkeepers did their job to avoid conceding a goal until halftime.

Luvumbu broke the deadlock for the Blues with a fantastic free kick in the 57th before Police reacted quickly to equalize when Peter Agblevor restored parity in the 67th minute. It was his sixth goal against the Blues.

Both teams held their nerves as regulation time ended 1-1. Police sailed through after winning the shootouts 4-3.
