Simba Fall Short in Harare As Namungo FC Shine At Home
December 24, 2020
Dar es Salaam The Mainland representatives in the African Champions League, Simba SC, lost 1-0 to Zimbabwe’s FC Platinum in Harare, while Namungo FC triumphed in the Confederation Cup, beating Al Hilal Obeid of Sudan 2-0 at the Azam Complex in Dar es Salaam yesterday.
Mistakes made by Ivorian defender Serge Pascal Wawa gave a chance to Perfect Chikwenda to score easily in the match held at Harare’s National Stadium. Wawa did not mark the fast FC Platinum attacking midfielder who beat Simba’s goalkeeper Aishi Manula. Despite the goal, Simba made various attempts in the encounter, but lack of concentration saw the players shoot wide or straight into Platinum goalkeeper’s hands.
