Tanzania: Simba, Yanga Maintain Good Start

SIMBA and Young Africans have maintained their 100 per cent start of the Premier League campaign after winning all their opening games with clean sheets.

The two giants are now leaving stone unturned as they wrestle to attain leadership of the 16-team table which is currently under the navigation of Singida Black Stars.

Simba have won four matches in a row to generate 12 points and interestingly, they are yet to let the ball hit the back of their net, a remarkable feat for them.

Their solid defence backed by brilliant goalkeeping from Moussa Camara has so far kept them safe and the Guinean shot-stopper has already proved to be among the best goalies parading in the topflight league.

On the other hand, Yanga have also cherished three successive wins to bag 9 points, scoring 4 goals without conceding which is a great run for them.

The hot debate going around by football fraternity is lack of scoring efficiency by the defending champions who are still wasteful when it comes to using well created scoring opportunities.

They scored twice against Kagera Sugar before posting narrow 1-0 victories against Ken Gold and KMC respectively, but they are still on the right channel as far as battling for the championship is concerned.

Now, for the incumbent league leaders Singida Black Stars, their invincible winning status was ruined on Sunday after being held to a 1-1 draw by JKT Tanzania at Liti Stadium in Singida.
