Simba was eliminated from the African Football League by regulation after a 3-3 draw against Al Ahly in two quarter-final matches
The second leg played in Egypt yesterday ended with a 1-1 draw while the first leg ended with a 2-2 draw
Simba head coach Robertinho Oliveira congratulated his players for showing the best level in the game while he was more interested in midfielders Sadio Kanoute and Fabrice Ngoma
Kanoute was Simba's hero for both matches against Al Ahly as he scored in Dar es Salaam and also scored the other day in Egypt
"I congratulate all the players, they fought to make sure we get a good result to move forward but we missed that luck. In previous years we were conceding a lot of goals in Egypt but now we are showing them that we have improved"
"It was not our goal to get a draw as we needed a win but we are grateful for this result against the best team in Africa. We will continue to work on the challenges that arise to be better," said Robertinho
