AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> KMC have raced clear of the strong contenders Azam FC and Young Africans to tie with leaders Simba and Mwadui in the last five-game run.<\/p>\n

The three teams have notched 12 points; the best ever results in the last five games staged prior to the Mainland Premier League suspension on Tuesday this week.<\/p>\n

Racing far ahead of their pursuers with 71 points, league top riders Simba were still enjoying the pilot seat before the league was halted.<\/p>\n

The league last results came a few hours before the government through Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa announced suspension of all sporting activities and events that are of a huge public nature, including the Premier League, as part of strengthening preventive measures to avoid the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

The decision came in a reaction to a confirmation from the Ministry for Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children who unveiled one case of a person who tested positive to the deadly coronavirus in Arusha.<\/p>\n

Prior to its suspension, the three teams had, each won four of the five last games.<\/p>\n

Simba, who stamped four wins, saw their good record being smeared when they lost 1-0 to their traditional rivals in their penultimate match prior to the stoppage time.<\/p>\n

Relegation threat seemed to have woken up Mwadui and KMC from slumber. Both sides were at the deep red line prior to winning four out of five latest matches.<\/p>\n

Both Mwadui and KMC have been very unfriendly to the football giants Simba and Yanga.<\/p>\n

Mwadui was the first team to beat Simba in during the earliest stage of the league while KMC also staged the big upset to Yanga in their fourth match.<\/p>\n

Simba suffered 1-0 loss to Mwadui and the same score margin was recorded by KMC in their recent victory over Yanga.<\/p>\n

Yanga who drew 1-1 with Namungo in their last game, are second after pocketing 10 points from three victories, a draw and one loss to KMC.<\/p>\n

The team remained at the third place with 51 points at the league\u2019s stoppage time.<\/p>\n

Azam, who are second overall with 54 points and 17 points behind leaders are the third best in five-game show after collecting 9 points out of 15 maximum points.<\/p>\n

The Ice-cream makers have won three games while losing two others. On opposite performance are Alliance whose last five-game run was the worst of all.<\/p>\n

The Mwanza-based team lost all five matches followed by Mbao who lost four and drew once to reap a single point out of 15 maximum points.<\/p>\n

Singida United, who are still limping at the bottom of the table lost 12 points in their last five games after winning once and losing the remaining four matches.<\/p>\n

Placed at the 16th position with 31 points, are Ndanda who have added 5 points from the five games. They have won one match, drew two others and lost two games.<\/p>\n

Fourth-placed Namungo are the team with the highest number of dr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
