An Elie Mpanzu goal secured a crucial three points for Simba SC against Dodoma Jiji, as the Reds returned to the top of the league table with a 1–0 victory at KMC Complex in the NBC Premier League.
It was Mpanzu himself who won a penalty after being fouled inside the box by the Dodoma Jiji goalkeeper, prompting the referee to point to the spot.
The goalkeeper managed to save Clatous Chama’s penalty kick, but Mpanzu reacted quickly to the rebound and slotted the loose ball into the net.
Although Simba’s players were not very clinical in front of goal throughout the match, they still managed to secure an important victory.
The three points move Simba back to the top of the league standings with 58 points, one point ahead of rivals Yanga, who will face Namungo FC tomorrow.
