Babtiste Mugiraneza headed home in the 80th to score the lone APR goal.
Meanwhile, Simba play their Group `A` second match at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam this afternoon reports Valentine Oforo.
The team trained by Jamhuri Kihwelu will need to win the match by a big margin in order to be in a better position to advance, a loss will dent their hopes.
Simba who were beaten 3-2 by Tusker of Kenya in the Group `A` face Benadir Telecom of Somalia who defeated Vitalo of Burundi 2-1.
Benadir will automatically qualify for the quarterfinals if they beat the home side.
