BAADA YA USHINDI WA JANA HII LEO MTANDAO WA YANGA UMEANDIKA HAYA KWA LUGHA YA KINGEREZA SOMA...................(www.youngafricans.co.tz).

  Green and yellow colours were dominant from the early hours of Saturday and it went on to be the dominant colours on the pitch as Champions Young Africans somewhat exerted their vengeance with a 2-0 defeat to arch nemesis Simba.

Goals from Burundian striker, Didier Kavumbagu in the first half and a sensational second half strike from Ugandan striker, Hamisi Kiiza condemned Simba to a painful defeat.

As it has always been the case in the previous matches between the two sides, the mere formality match at the 60,000-seater state-of-the-art National Stadium in Dar es Salaam was marked by plenty of fanfare displayed by fans of both sides early on.

It was also not shot of drama as Mrisho Ngasa’s departure from Simba to Yanga was “vividly confirmed” after he was presented with a jersey at the end of the game and was carried shoulder high by jubilating Jangwani Street team’s fans.

Both teams had little beyond pride to play for Saturday but for Yanga, it was much more pressing to win and avenge the 5-0 demolition at the hands of their rivals in a corresponding fixture last season.

No wonder, with a revenge mission in the mind, Yanga started forcefully against Patrick Liewig’s youthful side, who were also desperate to win to appease their fans following an uncharacteristic string of poor performance in the league this season.

Mbuyu Twite was lucky to walk out with just a yellow card following a crude tackle on Haruna Chanongo after just two minutes. Yanga had more men in the midfield four against three of Simba and it helped them to take control of the game from the opening minutes of the game, denying Simba to make any meaningful penetrations.

Athumani Idd ‘Chuji’ played a game of his life for Yanga controlling the midfield and was absolutely the man of the match yesterday. It came as a no surprise, when Kavumbagu’s poaching header after just four minutes beat goalkeeper, Juma Kaseja at the near post for Yanga’s opener.

The goal came from a Twitwe’s resultant corner kick, which was initially headed deep in by Kiiza for the scorer to flick in and the ball bounced in front of the goal and twisted away from Kaseja’s stretching fingers. From then, Yanga were enjoying good moment and displaying quick passing game.

Yanga, then decided to slow it down a bit as Simba started to press for an equaliser, but it seemed they badly missed a target man of Felix Sunzu’s quality. The Zambian was sitting on the bench in the first half. Kavumbagu tried an identical header on 21st minute but was unlucky, as he missed the target.

There were a bit of frustration from Simba attackers as they failed to build up any meaningful move. Luckily, though out of the blue Ngasa pressed between Nadir Haroub and Kelvin Yondani and was brought down in the 26th minute for penalty.

Agitated Haroub survived with a yellow card. Mussa Mudde stepped up to take the penalty but the Ugandan international stunned many, as his casual spot kick was easily collected by keeper, Ally Mustafa. Simba got back into possession, thereafter, pushing from the right flank where Ngasa was switching places with Chanongo. They forced two corner kicks in the 39th minute but failed to make the most out of them.

Yanga, on the other hand were making most of their penetrations run from the right where impressive, Simon Msuva was operating. Sunzu was called in after the break for Abdallah Seseme. Ngasa positioned himself strategically and he received a well pass from Chanongo but fired wide in the 50th minute. Kaseja then saved from Msuva’s point black header in the 57th minute.

Off colours, Amri Kiemba will then blame himself for a poorly taken shot in the 61st minute, as Simba were moving on progressively, attacking relentlessly. They were caught on the break, when they failed to clear Twite’s big throw in and Kiiza volleyed in a cracker into the roof top in the 63rd minute.

Ramadhani Singano was thrown into the fray to replace Chanongo and Jonas Mkude for Kiemba as Simba attempted to throw everything upfront. Double heroic saves from Mustafa denied Simba two clear goals deep into the final minutes of the game. Then, David Luhende took a bold move to cut across a thick of defenders in the 84th minute but was brought down by Mkude.

Yanga called in Nizar Khalfan for Kiiza and the midfiflder’s fierce shot from a set piece hit the post and crushed against Kaseja’s face as Simba survived a late scare. Juma Abdul came in for injured Twite but in the end big questions will be asked for Simba defending in both goals.

The two teams played out to a 1-1 draw when they clashed in the first round match. Yanga came from behind to score a second half equalizer through a Said Bahanuzi penalty after Amir Kiemba had given Simba a first-half lead.
