Simba SC defeated Alliance FC 4-1 at the CCM Kirumba Stadium to keep their good record against their rivals in the Vodacom Premier League (VPL).
Alliance were the first side to take the lead through Israel Patrick but Simba clawed back with strikes from Jonas Mkude, Meddie Kagere, Clatous Chama and Hassan Dilunga.
Patrick found the back of the net in the 28th minute to open the scoring for Alliance at home against the champions. Simba pulled parity in the third minute of added time of the first half when Mkude struck before the teams headed back to the tunnel for a break.
