AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> AFTER progressing into the Azam Sports Federation Cup (ASFC), semifinals, Namungo FC remains confident that they will go all the way to the finals of the contest.<\/p>\n

Namungo were the first team to venture into the last four on Tuesday after brushing aside Alliance FC 2-0 in a quarterfinals battle staged at the Majaliwa Stadium in Ruangwa, Lindi.<\/p>\n

Namungo netted their goals through Bigirimana Blaise, who scored via a controversial penalty, while the second goal was pumped in by George Makana with a stunning bicycle kick strike, which left Alliance goalie Kelvin Richard helpless in between the poles.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the match, Namungo Coach Thiery Hitimana said reaching into the last four was their number one priority.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe prepared well to win this game and had good opportunities to score more goals but I am satisfied with what we have produced.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey came with defensive and time wasting tactics but we responded back positively by ensuring that we do not lose the game,\u201d Hitimana said.<\/p>\n

On his part, Alliance Assistant Coach Daddy Gilbert said fatigue among his charges was the main reason behind the team’s poor performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a bad luck for us because we wanted to win the match and make it into the semi-finals but that has not happened,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that they arrived in Ruangwa in the morning of the match (Tuesday) after playing their top flight league match against Coastal Union in Tanga last Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started the trip on Saturday but on the way, we had a breakdown as such, we waited to hire another vehicle to drive us here hence we arrived this morning and in such scenario, it becomes a miracle to win,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cWe never had time to do recovery after the long travel but I do not blame anybody for this, it was just the circumstances surrounding the whole thing which could not give us time to do well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
