It was his sixth goal of the Premier League campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Mayele scored with a free header connecting home a well delivered cross from Djuma Shaabani from the flank.<\/p>\n<p>In the second half Coastal Union kept Yanga\u2019s Africans life particularly in attacking areas in a difficult position, forcing the Tunisian tactician, Nasrdinne Nabi to make some changes by bringing in Dickson Ambundo and Farid Mussa in places of Jesus Moloko and Feisal Salum.<\/p>\n<p>The changes paid off late in the second half when Yanga netted their second goal through Ntibazonkiza who fired shot in the 89th minute from Farid Mussa\u2019s well-taken cross.<\/p>\n<p>For Yanga, the victory over Coastal Union at Mkwakwani Stadium will remain in their history books as they lost there twice in the 2019\/20 and 2020\/21 seasons.<\/p>\n<p>They first lost 2-0 in 2020 before losing 2-1 last season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/tanzania\">Tanzania<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
