AfricaPress-Tanzania: TANZANIA representatives in the CAF Confederation Cup, Namungo FC humiliated their Angolan opponents CD de Agosto 6-2 in one of their two-legged Caf Confederation Cup fixture at Chamazi Complex in Dar es Salaam.
Agosto were allowed a penalty that was however saved by Namungo goalie who made a double save before allowing a ball into the net.
A Lindi based outfit Namungo goal getters were Hashim Manyaya who scored in the 32nd minute, Sixtus Sabilo, who struck twice in the 38th and 59th minutes, Reliant Lusajo in the 55th minute , Erick Kwizera in the 66th minute and Steven Seyi in 71st minute.
The second leg match will be held mid this week at the same venue. The first leg match was supposed to be held in Luanda, Angola but was cancelled and later shifted to Dar es Salaam by the African governing football body, CAF with Agosto therefore being regarded as the host.
The decision by CAF to cancel the game which was scheduled to take place at Estadion da Cidadela in Luanda came after the country’s authority put in quarantine three players and one official of Namungo ( who are still detained in Angola) after they allegedly tested positive for the Coronavirus on arrival in Luanda.
Namungo, who are making a maiden appearance in the CAF Club tournament therefore need a draw to sail through to the group stage.

They have garnered 35 points to remain in the fourth place.
