Yanga will face USM Alger in CAF CC final

The Citizens have 180 minutes to compete for the CAF Confederation Cup after a 4-1 aggregate victory against Marumo Gallants in the semi-final game

Yesterday Yanga won 2-1 against Marumo in the semi-final second leg game played in South Africa while also winning 2-0 in the first leg game played at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium last week

Yanga will face USM Alger (USMA) in the final match after the Arabs from Algeria won 2-0 against ASEC Mimosas in the second semi-final game played in Algeria

The teams played a goal-less draw in the semi-final first leg in Ivory Coast

This final will be a revenge for Yanga, the Citizens having a memory of those teams meeting in this competition in the group stage in 2018

USMA beat Yanga 4-0 in the first group stage match in Algeria and Yanga won 2-1 in the second leg

At that time Yanga was coached by Mwinyi Zahera who landed to replace George Lwandamina who returned to his former club Zesco United

USMA played with the so-called Yanga bowl because it was the period when Yanga had big economic challenges

This time it will be different! Under the leadership of President Engineer Hersi Said, Yanga is strong blowing whoever comes ahead.

Coach Nasreddine Nabi's team is thirsty to win the CAF Confederation cup

The first leg of the final match will be played at Benjamin Mkapa stadium on May 28th and the second leg will be played in Algeria on June 03rd

Yanga needs to win the Title here in Tanzania and go to complete the schedule in Algeria
