After securing the first win as Simba Sc head coach, Thiery Hitimana said the victory had eased the pressure they were facing after being eliminated from the Champions League
A penalty kick scored by Larry Bwalya in the 88th minute ensured Simba to get all three points against Polisi Tanzania who were league leaders
Hitimana said they played under a lot of pressure as a result of the Champions League exit, however he is happy to be able to win the game
"We have just been exited from the Champions League and we have changed the technical bench so we were under a lot of pressure which is why I say our first opponents were ourselves," said Hitimana
Simba Sc accumulated seven points and climbed to third place in the league standings
The next game is against Coastal Union, to be played next Sunday at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium
