AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> THE Mainland Premier league champions, Simba Sports Club edged the Isles\u2019 Mlandege 3-1 in a friendly match held at Azam Complex in the outskirts of Dar es Salaam.<\/p>\n

Mlandege failed to handle Simba pressure mounted from the onset despite trying to make some resistance.<\/p>\n

Simba did not wait to destroy their opponents as Chris Mugalu opened the scoring as early as in the seventh minute.<\/p>\n

In the 16th minute, Ibrahim Ame made things worse for the visitors as he unleashed home a ball that went into the net untouched.<\/p>\n

Mugalu was on the mark again in 67th minute when he dodged Mlandege\u2019s goalie to easily send the ball into the net.<\/p>\n

A struggling Yahya Haji scored a consolation goal for Mlandege, after his several attempts to penetrate into simba\u2019s strong defence marshaled by a Kenyan experienced defender, Joash Onyango.<\/p>\n

Despite losing by a big margin, Mlandege\u2019s defence stood firm to thwart what could be \u2018disastrous\u2019 at their goal area. Salim Hamis of Mlandege replaced Haji in their \u2018wee hours\u2019 attempts to look for another consolation goal.<\/p>\n

But their substitution did not work for their side. The match, according to Simba SC officials, was aimed at preparing the Mainland champions ahead of their forthcoming league assignment.<\/p>\n

Simba will play against the Tanzania Prisons on October 22 at Nelson Mandela Memorial Stadium in Sumbawanga.<\/p>\n

Simba coached by Belgium\u2019s Sven Vandenbroeck assisted by former club player, Seleman Matola started the league season on a right foot, winning four out of five matches, after the other one drawing 1-1 with Mtibwa Sugar of Morogoro.<\/p>\n

The technical bench had therefore hard task to make sure that Simba beat the isles side, Mlandege and create a \u2018winning atmosphere\u2019 ahead of their important away league match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
