Azam FC and Simba Share Points in Goalless Mzizima Derby

Azam FC and Simba SC played out a goalless draw in an NBC Premier League match held on Sunday, April 5, 2026, at Azam Complex Stadium.

The highly competitive encounter brought together two teams battling for top positions in the league standings, with both sides showing great discipline, particularly in defense.

Goalkeepers Aishi Manula of Azam FC and Djibrill Kassali of Simba were called into action at different moments, producing a series of crucial saves to deny dangerous attempts on goal.

In midfield, there was an intense battle for possession, with Azam FC relying on James Akaminko, Himid Mao, and Feisal Salum, while Simba responded through Yusuph Kagoma, Allasane Kante, and Clatous Chama.

In the second half, Simba made a tactical change by substituting Chama with Neo Maema in an attempt to strengthen their attack, but the move did not yield the desired results.

Despite ending in a goalless draw, the match was lively and fast-paced, with both teams creating several scoring opportunities. However, a lack of clinical finishing denied fans the chance to witness goals.
