Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>SINGIDA: <\/b>SINGIDA Big Stars missed a chance to unseat Simba on the third place of the Mainland Premier League table, after securing a 2-2 draw against JKT Tanzania at a home ground \u2013 Liti Stadium in Singida, yesterday.<\/p>\n

The visitors netted first through Hassan Kapalata in the 26th minute to pile pressure on the hosts, who by this time, could not manage to threaten their opponents.<\/p>\n

His goal was cancelled out in the 62nd minute by Marouf Tchakei, but six minutes later, the league\u2019s newcomers increased their lead via Hassan Nasor Maulid.<\/p>\n

In the 75th minute, Francy Kazadi sealed the deal for the hosts, after scoring to flatten the curve and as the final whistle sounded, the digits on the scoreboard read 2-2, hence sharing spoils.<\/p>\n

Following the results, the Singida-based outfits have maximised 19 points similar to Simba, but the latter have a good goal average \u2013 18 against 15 scored by the former in 12 matches.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere yesterday, debutants Tabora United punished Mtibwa Sugar 2-1 in an interesting match at Ali Hassan Mwinyi Stadium in Tabora.<\/p>\n

Two first half goals by Eric Okutu and Ben Nakibinge put the hosts upfront, before a solitary goal from Kassim Haruna who found the back of the net in the 75th minute.<\/p>\n

It was Tabora United\u2019s third triumph in the unfolding league campaign and have so far generated 14 points from 10 games.<\/p>\n

For Mtibwa Sugar, the slump was another stab in the back, as their win-less demon refuses to detach from them, no wonder they stay glued at the bottom of the pile with just five points in 11 duels.<\/p>\n

They have just won one match and succumbed to eight defeats, which is seemingly a poor run by the Morogoro-based side who struggle to make the ends meet.<\/p>\n

It is still a big puzzle for Mtibwa Sugar\u2019s Coach Zuberi Katwila to find winning keys in the league, as the marathon to the finishing line intensifies.<\/p>\n
