We thank the fans, members, and all the Young Africans SC supporters for filling the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in readiness for the game against Simba, Wananchi posted on their official social media platforms. [Simba] are lucky because they were going to suffer. Wananchi relax, justice might be delayed but eventually it will be served.
Shukrani kwa Mashabiki, Wanachama na Wapenzi wa Young Africans Sc kwa kujitokeza kwenye uwanja wa Benjamin Mkapa, kwenye mchezo wetu wa leo dhidi ya Simba Sc.

I am not blaming myself for what I did but I am hurt with the fact that the fans did not get what they deserved. I feel guilty that my voice was used to bring the fans pain, and had to seek forgiveness from the fans, especially those who came at the Mkapa Stadium. Yes, I might not be responsible for what happened, but I will be stupid for not apologising.
On Sunday, the Tanzania Football Federation asked the Tanzania Premier League Board to shed light on the cancellation of the Kariakoo Derby.
The Federation states it was saddened by what transpired and has tasked the TPLB to come up with a solution.
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.
