Azam FC have claimed a 2-1 win over Mbeya City in a Tanzania Mainland League match at Azam Complex on Thursday night.
Iddi Selemani and Prince Dube scored for the hosts while David Mwasa scored the consolation for the visitors.
With Yanga SC settling for a 3-3 draw with Kagera Sugar on Wednesday, the 2014 champions had to win the game to revive their hopes of winning the title this season.
It looked like an easier task considering the fact that their visitors have struggled in the current campaign and prior to the game against the Ice-cream Makers, they had conceded 21 goals from 20 matches played.
