Wekundu wa Msimbazi though have played 21 games and have enough ground to recover the lost position.
During the JKT game, Azam left-back Pascal Msindo made history by becoming the youngest player to have ever played in the Mainland Premier League, after making his debut aged 17 years and eight days.
The full-back had an impressive outing in the Cecafa U20 championship and continues to hone his skills with the former Tanzanian champions.
On Saturday, games will continue to be played as Coastal Union will host Ruvu Shooting at 13:00. It will be a good chance for the away side - sitting 11th on the log with 30 points from 25 games - to try and pick up a win in order to close in on their hosts who have four more points and have engaged in one fewer game.
The hosts finally got an equaliser in the 71st minute via Karihe before Anuary doubled the lead six minutes later. Azam had to wait until the fifth minute of added time for Chirwa to head home the equaliser and ensure the rivals shared the points.
Dube s strike saw him equal Meddie Kagere s tally of 11 goals although the Simba striker has played fewer games. John Bocco of Simba is third with 10 goals while Danny Lyanga of JKT, Ruvu Shooting s Fully Mugunga and Meshack Abraham of Gwambina FC all have eight goals.
Azam s Iddy Selemani and his teammate Ayoub Lyanga have scored seven goals, so have Clatous Chama of Simba, Adam Adam of JKT Tanzania, Kagera Sugar s Yusuph Mhilu, and Karihe.

“We will miss the services of four players when we take on Tanzania Prisons and most of them are suffering from injuries that are yet to heal,” Zakaria told reporters in Dar es Salaam on Sunday.
“For example, Obrey [Chirwa], who got injured during the 2-2 draw against Simba SC, has resumed light training sessions but I don’t think he is fit enough to start or play in a competitive match.
“I think it is now upon the technical bench to decide if they can use him or not but if you ask me, I don’t think he will be ready for the Monday clash.”
