Azam FC moved third in the Tanzania Mainland League table after their 1-0 win against Polisi Tanzania.
The FA champions needed maximum points to replace Yanga SC who had occupied the position after defeating Tanzania Prisons 2-0 last week. The lone goal for the visitors came in the ninth minute courtesy of Obrey Chirwa.
Chirwa was left unmarked in the 12-yard area and managed to head in a cross from the left that turned out to be the winner. It was a welcome response after their 1-0 loss to Coastal Union on Thursday last week.
