Niyonzima: Yanga SC still top of the table and will not give up Tanzanian league title

Yanga SC midfielder Haruna Niyonzima has stated the team is still aiming at the Mainland Premier League title.

The Jangwani giants finally returned to winning ways after three matches after they registered a 1-0 win against Biashara United at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium on Saturday with Burkina Faso striker Yacouba Songne notching the all-important goal.

The win saw Yanga stretch their lead at the summit of the 18-team table as they have accumulated 54 points from 24 matches, four more than second-placed Azam FC, who have played 26 matches while champions Simba SC are third on 49 points from 21 matches.
