AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> MBEYA region is the beneficiary of the play-off matches staged in Mbeya and Mwanza venues after seeing its two teams; Mbeya City and Ihefu winning the high-valued Premier League tickets.<\/p>\n

As the region will be parading its football supremacy with three teams, together with Tanzania Prisons who firmly remained in the premiership, Mwanza becomes the biggest loser.<\/p>\n

Mbao were forced to test the First Division League despite their 4-2 win over Ihefu at CCM Kirumba Stadium in a tense encounter.<\/p>\n

Away goal advantage sent Mbao to the undesired division as the team lost 2-0 to Ihefu in the first leg of the Play-off match at Highland Estate stadium in Mbarali on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Ihefu scored two away goals that helped them advance as the results score read 4-4 at the end of the 180 minutes of home and away play-off.<\/p>\n

Mbeya City, who grabbed the second Premier League ticket, had to sweat profusely to beat Geita Gold 1-0 in a tense match at Sokoine Stadium.<\/p>\n

The teams drew 1-1 in the first leg match staged at Nyankumbu Secondary School ground in Geita to make 2-1 aggregate winners at the end.<\/p>\n

Alliance FC who finished 17th on log was the first Mwanza side to part ways with the Premier League.<\/p>\n

The newly promoted Gwambina is only team from the region that will play in the top flight league next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
