Simba head coach Steve Barker says striker Ibrahim Doumbia was simply unlucky not to find the back of the net against Coastal Union, but he is confident the forward will score plenty of goals.
In the match played at Major General Isamuhyo Stadium, where Simba secured a 1-0 victory, Doumbia had several opportunities but was unable to convert them despite coming close to scoring.
"Doumbia is a good striker and we believe in him. I think he was simply unlucky not to score today, but he put in a great effort on the pitch."
"This is normal for a new player. He needs time to adapt to the environment as well as our overall style of play."
"I have no concerns about him. He is a good player, and I believe he will score many goals for us this season," Barker said.
Simba fans have been urged to continue supporting the striker and help ease the pressure he faces off the pitch so that he can perform at his best.
