It was only a matter of time before Simba roared to life at Uhuru Stadium, securing a 2-1 victory over Yanga in an NBC Premier League clash.
It was a special day for Simba fans, who witnessed an impressive display of football from their team.
Despite conceding an early goal in the fifth minute, with Yanga taking the lead through Peter Shalulile, Simba stuck to their game plan and went on to dominate the match.
By half-time, Simba had demonstrated their control of the game, enjoying 66 per cent possession and keeping Yanga on the back foot for much of the first half.
Simba continued to dominate after the break, and in the 67th minute, Neo Maema sent Simba fans to their feet by equalising after receiving a pass from Libasse Gueye.
The Reds of Msimbazi kept the pressure on their rivals and needed just four more minutes to score the winner. Elie Mpanzu produced a brilliant piece of skill, dribbling past Yanga defenders and goalkeeper Djigui Diarra before slotting the ball into the net.
It was not just a victory for Simba; what brought even greater joy to their supporters was seeing their team deliver a championship-calibre performance. This is Simba!
