DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania
Two first half goals by Enock
Inonga and Kibu Dennis set the Msimbazi giants on their way to a sweet victory
against their arch-rivals.
It was defender Enonga who out
jumped the Yanga defense to power in a header that beat hapless Yanga goalie
Diarra in the second minute of a game that is usually unmissable date.
Yanga tried to string a couple of passes but their usually lethal marksman Fiston Kalala Mayele missed a couple of them.
The equation got complicated
for the Jangwani team in the 32nd minute when Kubu Dennis
robbed Yanick Bangala in the middle of the field to race towards goal before
hitting a stupendous shot that nestled in the top right hand corner.
This was the first time that
Simba defeated Yanga in two years with the Msimbazi outfit playing second
fiddle in most outings.
The win now takes Simba to 63
points whereas Yanga remains on top of the log with 68 points having won 19 and
22 games respectively having played 26 games each.
This was the 110th game
between these teams in the Premier League since 1965, of which Yanga has won 38
while Simba has won 32 and 40 matches have ended in a draw.
Both teams will now switch
their focus to the CAF Champions’ League and the Confederations Cup quarter
finals.
