Simba secured all three points against Pamba Jiji with a hard-fought victory in their NBC Premier League match at KMC Complex Stadium.
It was a difficult contest that required the team’s key players to step up and make the difference.
That responsibility was taken on by Elie Mpanzu, who opened the scoring after finishing a superbly delivered ball from Neo Maema during the first half.
However, Pamba Jiji responded before the break, finding an equalizer that increased the pressure on Simba, who desperately needed a win.
Simba returned for the second half with greater intensity, launching wave after wave of attacks toward the Pamba Jiji goal.
After several missed opportunities, Libasse Gueye eventually secured victory for the hosts by breaking past the Pamba Jiji defense and calmly finishing with his left foot.
The result earns Simba three valuable points and keeps them firmly in the title race, reducing the gap between them and league leaders Yanga to just two points.
