We played well and controlled the game for the most part.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The coach also expressed his gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support. \u201cI am very grateful to our fans; they turned out in large numbers and have supported us even during tough times,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>With 44 points from 18 matches, Young Africans continue to assert their dominance, while Pamba Jiji\u2019s troubles against the league leaders deepen, having suffered the same 3-0 defeat last September.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the comfortable scoreline, Gonc\u0327alves admitted that Pamba Jiji posed a tough challenge. \u201cWe had a good game against our opponents. Playing in these conditions is difficult, but we are getting used to it,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMohamed Damaro played very well and contributed significantly today. I am satisfied with his effort and the team\u2019s performance as a whole,\u201d Gonc\u0327alves said.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side, Pamba Jiji Head Coach Francis Baraza acknowledged the defeat but remained optimistic about his team\u2019s future. \u201cWe will continue to learn and improve. This result motivates us to work harder,\u201d he said<\/p>\n<p>Baraza commended his players for their determination despite the disappointing result. Following the results, Pamba Jiji are sixth with 26 points from 18 matches.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on the match, Baraza admitted that conceding an early goal disrupted their strategy. \u201cAfter the first goal, we had to adjust our game plan. Losing our first home game is tough, but we will analyse and correct our mistakes,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Tanzania<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
