Simba head coach Robertinho Oliveira has congratulated the players, Simba management and fans for the unity and cooperation that has led them to win the first title this season
Simba has won the Community Shield after a 3-1 penalty shootout win against Yanga in the final game played yesterday at Mkwakwani Stadium
90 minutes of the game ended with a scoreless draw, so the winner was decided by a penalty shootout
Simba's goalkeeper Ali Salim was the hero in that game saving three penalties
"I am happy we have achieved our goals. We expected the game to be difficult because there is no easy derby match, but we went in with our strategy and the players completed it"
"I think we played well in the first half with the ball and even without the ball. In the second half we made changes to the game with some players to increase the pressure in the opponent's goal"
"I congratulate my players, I congratulate our goalkeeper (Ally Salim) he is a young man but since last season in the Champions League he has been an important player for us"
"I congratulate everyone, we have all worked together to achieve this success, we have won the first title this season," said Robertinho
Salim deserves the award for the star of the game yesterday but he is also probably the best player of the Community Shield championship because even in the semi-final game against Singida FG, he took the penalty kick and helped Simba reach the finals
Surely, Salim has shown maturity and will probably bring victory in the goalkeeper area, which the other day Simba added Ayoub Lakred from Morocco
