Azam FC lost their first Mainland Premier League tie on Monday after going down 1-0 to Mtibwa Sugar at Jamhuri Stadium.
Azam had gone for seven matches unbeaten but their impeccable start has come to an abrupt end courtesy of Jaffary Kibaya’s second-half strike.
The result means the Ice-cream Makers have failed to extend their lead further away from Yanga SC who defeated Kinondoni Municipal Council (KMC FC) on Sunday. Azam, however, remain the leaders with 21 points as Yanga are second with 19.
