Simba hit JKT Ruvu

Simba`s Mussa Hassan Mgosi beats Damas Makwaya (down) and Shaibu Nayopa of JKT when the teams met in a Vodacom Premier League match in Dar es Salaam yesterday. Simba won 3-1.

League leaders Simba proved that they are a force to reckon with when they scored two quick goals during injury time to outclass JKT Ruvu 3-1 in a Vodacom Premier League match played at Uhuru Stadium in Dar es Salaam yesterday.

The two gals were scored by Musa Hassan Mgosi (who had earlier missed a penalty kick in the 71^st minute) and Uhuru Selemani.

The team trained by Patrick Phiri, had earlier scored their first goal in the 27^th minute through Joseph Owino who connected home a Mohamed Banka free-kick to beat national team goalie Shabaan Dihile before the armed forces side leveled in the 39^th minute through a well taken penalty by Haruna Adolf.

“I am happy that my boys have played well the way I instructed them. I hope they will do the same when we play Azam FC next,” Phiri said.

Simba who have not lost a single match apart from drawing twice, have 53 points while their archrivals Yanga follow them with 42 points.

Meanwhile, defending champions Yanga play third-placed Azam FC in another league match in the same ground this afternoon.

Yanga will reach 45 points if they beat Azam who have 31 points
