AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> Simba SC coach Didier Gomez Da Rosa has said that his team lacked the energy to beat Al Merrikh in the Caf Champions League fixture after they dropped their first points in Khartoum.<\/p>\n

The Msimbazi giants went into the match seeking a third straight win in Group A but the Sudanese outfit held on to secure a 0-0 draw, which gave them their first point of the campaign.<\/p>\n

After the game Sudanese champions confirmed they had fired their head coach Nasreddine Nabi alongside his assistants Hamadi Sagheer and El Dao Gadamelkhair.<\/p>\n

Their slip was however helped by the draw in Cairo as Congolese side AS \u2013Vita held\u00a0 Al-Ahly to a two goal draw as the shared the spoils in a game that was played at a frantic pace<\/p>\n

The single point, however, kept Simba on top spot in the group with seven points with a three point gap meaning they now need a win to qualify for the quarter finals.<\/p>\n

The Msimbazi giants\u2019 Gomez said his team was not strong enough to challenge their opponents and that their usual fluid passing was lacking.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest, we did not develop our usual way of playing, we were a little bit not disappointing but we missed the energy, we missed dynamic passes, we played on a slow tempo so sometimes it happens but don\u2019t forget that we were playing away,\u201d Gomez told reporters as reported by Simba Online.<\/p>\n

Simba will now have to prepare\u00a0 for the return leg which is set to be played on March 16 knowing that a win could hand them early qualification<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the next match against Al Merrikh you know very well that at home we are very good, we can put the fire on the ground but we have to prepare very seriously for the match because the three next points could put us in the quarter-finals,\u201d said Gomez.<\/p>\n

He added: Al Merrikh, so, believe me, I cannot underrate this team, this kind of players, I know very well their mentality, you know I spent the two first rounds of Champions League with them and I know that they are able to be very committed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
