The victory awarded Simba 23 points, just two points behind leaders Azam and a point adrift of their second placed traditional rival Young Africans who play their 11th<\/sup>\u00a0round match today against Namungo.<\/p>\n

Azam\u2019s Premier League\u2019s helm likely to be last overnight since Yanga can claim it if they beat Namungo today.<\/p>\n

It was a goal festival for Simba at Sheikh Amri Abeid Stadium in Arusha\u00a0 when Simba mercilessly clobbered Coastal Union with hefty 7-0 win.<\/p>\n

Skipper John Bocco, who netted a hat trick, Clatous Chama who stamped a brace, were the masters of Simba\u2019s goal festival on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Bernard Morrison and Hassan Dilunga each scored once to give Simba their biggest win of the season.<\/p>\n

But it was Hassan Dilunga who opened the festival in the 6th minute, completing John Bocco\u2019s assist.<\/p>\n

Bocco added the second goal in the 24th<\/sup>\u00a0minute, completing Dilunga\u2019s assist. It was one of the most brilliant goals as he chopped the ball above Coastal Union custodian Abubakar Abasi.<\/p>\n

Bocco added his team\u2019s third goal in the 29th<\/sup>\u00a0minute, completing Morrison\u2019s assist after the Ghanaian outpaced the defenders plus their goalie.<\/p>\n

Bocco sealed his first hat trick of this season in the 38th<\/sup>\u00a0minute with a powerful strike out of the box past Abasi.<\/p>\n

A few seconds the end of the first half, Bernard Morrison scored the fifth goal for his club.<\/p>\n

The first half ended with Simba leading 5-0.<\/p>\n

Fourteen minutes after the second half, Chama scored the sixth goal completing Ibrahim Ajib\u2019s assist.<\/p>\n

Four minutes before the stoppage time, Chama scored again to seal a 7-0 blitz.<\/p>\n

On the other hand Azam were left shocked yesterday after suffering a second loss to Kinondoni Municipal Council who beat them 1-0 at Uhuru Stadium.<\/p>\n

Reliants Lusajo scored the winner in 57th<\/sup>\u00a0minute, and the victory has KMC at fifth place with 18 points from 11 games they have played so far.<\/p>\n

At Azam Complex stadium in Dar es Salaam, Ihefu held Police Tanzania to a barren draw.<\/p>\n

Ihefu are still placed at the bottom of the table with six points.<\/p>\n

On the Friday, Ruvu Shooting sealed a hefty 3-0 win over Mbeya City at Uhuru stadium in Dar es Salaam.<\/p>\n

William Patrick netted the opener Ruvu Shooting in the 12th<\/sup>\u00a0minute, seven minutes after the second half whistle Abdulrahman Mussa doubled the lead before Fully Zullu concluded the onslaught with the third goal in the 90th<\/sup>\u00a0minute.<\/p>\n

Ruvu have now climbed to the fourth place with 19 points, just four points behind Simba.<\/p>\n

At Jamhuri stadium in Dodoma, Dodoma Jiji completed drew 1-1 with Biashara United. Both teams scored their goals through spot kicks.<\/p>\n
