After another roaring 2-0 victory against Kagera Sugar at the Uhuru Stadium yesterday.
The victory was not delivered on
a silver platter for the log leaders but they put up a thriller of a show to
annihilate the determined visitors.
Kagera Sugar, under former
national soccer team Taifa Stars captain Mecky Mexime, proved their pre-match
vow to not make it easy for Simba SC was not an empty threat as they frustrated
the Msimbazi Street side.
Strikers from both sides had
mouthwatering attempts for most of the first half before Simba SC broke the
jinx right in the 44th through Mohamed Ibrahim, who did not waste a well-taken
corner kick from Shiza Kichuya.
Kichuya, clearly now the
evergreen star of the resurgent Msimbazi Street boys, found the net in the 75th
through a world-class penalty awarded after Kagera Sugar’s defender Shaaban
Sunza fouled Ibrahim. Kichuya’s goal yesterday was the seventh. He continues to
dominate the top scoring chart.
The victory is a major confidence
boost for Simba SC in their unbeaten run in the league. They have won seven
matches and drew twice. This poses a major threaten to the defending champions,
Young Africans, as well as last season’s league runners Azam FC who are still
struggling to find form. The two face off at the Uhuru Stadium.
Simba SC have collected 23 points
from nine matches with 17 goals forward while conceding only three goals. The
team is faces the huge challeng to keep the current form in its bid to clinch
the title.
For the past four years, the club
has been finishing in the second position. Simba SC assistant head coach
Jackson Mayanja said their plan is to maintain the unbeaten run. He
congratulated the players for the victory.
“We still have to work hard, and
working hard is what we will do. There is a lot more to do.”
