We take a point and focus on the next game hoping to improve.
In the Sunday game, Stephen Sey had about three clear chances to convert but failed to capitalise on them. I must admit scoring has been a problem for the team in recent matches, Morocco continued. It is the department I want to focus on in training because to win matches, we have no alternative, we must score.
On the other hand, KMC assistant coach Habib Kondo conceded the game was tough but was happy the tactic worked. Playing a team like Namungo is never easy, it is all about coming up with effective tactics, Kondo stated.
Simba SC coach Didier Gomes Da Rosa was surprised after the Kariakoo Derby against historical rivals Yanga SC at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium did not take place on Saturday.
We all know Yanga did not do good by refusing to play and per the rules they should be relegated to the third tier and Simba be awarded three points and two goals, the reigning champions said in a statement obtained by
Goal. What Yanga did is like a betrayal to the country and the government who had ordered the match to be pushed forward by two hours. We believe the postponement of the game was done intentionally by the Tanzania Premier League Board to favour Yanga who were obligated to obey the guidelines from the government through TFF. Simba are saddened by the decision of the TPLB and urge respective authorities to investigate the matter fully including the reason why Yanga were allowed to access the stadium before the time. We have also written to those authorities over the same.
It is a move that has not been well by Timu ya Wananchi, who insisted they will stick to the initial plan. The Yanga management is disappointed with the pushing forward of the game against Simba from 5 pm to 7 pm, read a statement obtained by
Goal. The changes are against the rules; article 15 (10) of the rules governing the game in the country states any changes regarding the kick-off should be communicated to both teams 24 hours earlier. Yanga management will not agree on the kick-off time communicated and will honour the initial time, 5 pm. The management has further challenged the TFF to run the league in accordance with the set rules and guidelines.
