‘Yanga SC were better than us in all departments’ – Simba SC’s Manara concedes derby defeat

The outspoken official admits the Msimbazi giants lost to a well-oiled side especially in the first half of the derby at Mkapa Stadium

Simba SC have conceded defeat after going down 1-0 to rivals Yanga SC in the Mainland Premier League derby on Saturday.

Watched by over 50, 000 fans including Tanzania President Samia Suluhu Hassan, it was the Jangwani giants who took the bragging rights after a first-half goal from Zawadi Mauya enabled them to beat their Msimbazi rivals at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.

The defeat means Simba will now have to wait and win their next league assignment against KMC FC to be declared champions and according to the club’s Media Officer Haji Manara, they had lost to a very tactical side.
