Africa-Press<\/a> – Tanzania<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>SIMBA’s doubletitle mission was accomplished after roaring to a 1-0 victory over their traditional rivals Young Africans at Lake Tanganyika Stadium in Kigoma yesterday.<\/p>\n

It was Simba’s second major silverware after clinching the ir fourth back to back Premier League title a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n

2021 has been a banner year for Msimbazi Street Reds as besides clinching the country’s top thrones; the club also enjoyed a great campaign in the CAF Champions League, where they reached the quarter-final stage.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s victory over Yanga was also a sweet revenge to their rivals who beat them 1-0 in their last Premier League derby at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam.<\/p>\n

It was Taddeo Lwanga’s goal that gave Simba victory after firing a bullet header past Yanga’s goalkeeper Farouk Shikalo at the 79th minute.<\/p>\n

Lwanga’s perfect header was carved from Lu\u00eds Miquissone excellent set-piece.<\/p>\n

Lwanga was awarded the man of the match for his outstanding contribution to the victory of his club. His success has as well contributed to Simba third in a row title of ASFC.<\/p>\n

Generally, it was a tight encounter as both sides showed quality and physique challenges.<\/p>\n

However, due to the use of force and pressure from both sides, they picked several fouls.<\/p>\n

The consequence of those fouls forced the referee to book Simba SC player three yellow while Yanga picked one red and yellow.<\/p>\n

Simba players who were booked yellow included Clatous Chama, Joash Onyango and Taddeo Lwanga, while Yanga booked a red card from Mukoko Tonombe after being seen elbowing Simba’s skipper at the 44th minute of the game; and Zawadi Mauya, shown yellow.<\/p>\n

Despite the incidents that resulted in fouls and punishment to both sides, some players showed quality and threat to the opposing team’s defences.<\/p>\n

For instance, Yanga’s midfielder Tuisila Kisinda gave Mohammed Hussein of Simba a difficult time in each move he made.<\/p>\n

One of the challenges Kisinda created was few seconds after the kickoff, where he splinted past Mohammed and would have caused harm to Simba if there had been a striker in the penalt box.<\/p>\n

On Simba’s side Lu\u00eds Miquissone was a threat to Yanga, as he repeatedly posed a danger to Yanga’s defender and forced them to commit several fouls against him.<\/p>\n

Among the fouls made on him included Bakari Mwanyeto at the penalty box, but the referee denied him a foul.<\/p>\n

Another incident was against Zawadi in the late minutes to complete the game and ended with Zawadi shown a yellow card.<\/p>\n

Other outstanding player was Bernard Morrison where although he came in the second half to replace Larry Bwalya, he still posed a threat to Yanga’s defence line.<\/p>\n

Among the close chances he had was through his foul strike that went wide a few meters above the wooden block.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
