Simba SC have laboured past Mwadui FC to pick a 1-0 Mainland Premier League win on Sunday in Shinyanga.
John Bocco scored the goal that gave the Caf Champions League quarter-finalists the slim win to move second on the table.
Despite the struggles Mwadui have undergone in the season, they were able to hold dominant Simba for the entire first half. The hosts sat back and launched cautious attacks and were able to keep at bay the champions who have been impressive both on the local and African scenes.
