Young Africans (Yanga SC) striker Saidi Ntibazonkiza has revealed he was just 50% fit despite playing for the full 90 minutes against Simba SC at Amani Stadium on Wednesday.
After a goalless draw in regular time, the Burundian stepped up to score a winning penalty in the shootout, eventually helping Wananchi to a 4-3 win. The 33-year-old has now revealed the circumstances behind his inclusion in the team.
"On Wednesday, I was not in good shape for the game, I was 50% fit but my teammates needed me and I had to help them," Ntibazonkiza, who joined the Jangwani Street-based side, told Goal.
