'I am surprised' - Simba SC's Da Rosa very sad after Kariakoo Derby cancellation

Simba SC coach Didier Gomes Da Rosa was surprised after the Kariakoo Derby against historical rivals Yanga SC at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium did not take place on Saturday.

The game was scheduled to kick off at 17.00, but the Tanzania Football Federation pushed it forward by two hours owing to logistical issues as communicated by the Ministry of Sports and local authorities.

However, Timu ya Wananchi was unimpressed and opted not to abide by the new kick-off time.
