Fiston Abdul Razak scored the lone goal as Yanga SC eliminated minnows Ken Gold from the Tanzania FA Cup at Uhuru Stadium on Saturday.
Timu ya Wananchi started the match as favourites owing to their recent run in the Tanzania Mainland League. However, their visitors were well organised and did not easily crack under pressure despite a series of attacks by the Tanzanian heavyweights.
The 27-time league champions had to wait until the 40th minute to get a break-through.
