Young Africans (Yanga SC) striker Gnamien Yikpe was on target as they beat Singida United 3-1 in a Mainland Premier League match played at National Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday.
The Jangwani giants were in need of a win to calm their fans after they had lost to rivals Simba SC in the FA Cup, a defeat that denied them a direct ticket to the Caf Confederation Cup.
Yanga coach Luc Eymael opted to rotate his squad with Ghanaian forward Bernard Morrison, who has gone AWOL since the defeat to Simba, missing from the starting squad.
