Athuman's brace against Ruvu Shooting powers Simba SC to the top

Simba FC have reclaimed the Vodacom Premier League (VPL) top spot after beating Ruvu Shooting 3-0 on Saturday.

Two goals from Miraji Athuman and another from Brazilian star Tairone Santos were enough to help Wekundu wa Msimbazi reclaim top spot which had been occupied by Kagera Sugar, who had defeated Lipuli FC 2-1 on Friday, on a temporary basis.

Athuman scored the opening goal in the 40th minute before Santos stretched Simba's lead in the 47th minute when he connected to a Francis Kahata corner and planted it deep into the left bottom corner.
