Despite taking an early lead courtesy of Fiston Abdoul Razak, Yanga caved in to allow the battling Polisi to snatch a late draw in the 89th minute after Pius Buswita levelled matters.
According to the club’s chairman of the technical committee Dominick Albinus, the draw against Polisi coupled with the team’s first defeat of the season against Coastal Union on Thursday forced the team’s management to crack the whip by sending home the entire technical bench.
“It was an agreement amongst ourselves [bosses] and everyone knew we needed to get good results and at the end of the day but what we have been getting are bad results which are not good,” Albinus said as quoted by

Kaze: Why Yanga SC have registered consecutive draws in the league Goal 17/02/2021 Dennis Mabuka
Yanga SC coach Cedric Kaze has come out to explain why his team has posted two consecutive draws, results which are frustrating them in their pursuit to win the Mainland Premier League in this campaign.
The Jangwani giants have suffered two setbacks since the second round of the league resumed as they picked a 1-1 draw against Tanzania Prisons and followed it up with another 1-1 draw against Mbeya City last Saturday.
While the two draws did not change the team’s position at the top of the 18-team league table, they allowed the chasing pack to close in on them.
The Belgian tactician, who is still unbeaten since joining Yanga as a replacement for Serbian Zlatko Krmpotic, has revealed his players deserved to win the game in normal time but they relaxed, which allowed Azam to hold them to a draw.
“The intensity of the match was high but the match was very slow,” Kaze said as quoted by
“We did not pressurise our opponents for more goals, instead we got back to defend and this resulted for Azam to gain the confidence to recovery and score an equalizer.”
Kaze has, however, praised his players for their quality from the penalty spot and said they are in the final to win the trophy.
