Simba have maintained their 100 per cent winning record this season after beating Coastal Union 1-0 in a match played at Meja Jenerali Isamuhyo Stadium in Mbweni, Dar es Salaam.
It was a largely one-sided encounter, with Simba dominating for most of the match and creating more chances than their opponents.
In the first half, Simba's forwards lacked composure in front of goal and squandered several clear opportunities, while Coastal Union focused heavily on their defensive approach.
After a sustained period of pressure on the Coastal Union goal, the Msimbazi Reds finally broke the deadlock in the 74th minute through Ismail Toure, who headed home a cross from Anicet Oura.
In the closing stages, Simba were awarded a penalty after Elie Mpanzu appeared to have been fouled inside the penalty area. However, following a review by FVS, the penalty was overturned.
After 90 minutes, Simba secured their fourth consecutive victory and returned to the top of the league standings with 12 points.
