Azam FC strengthened their position in the NBC Mainland Premier League standings after cruising to a commanding 4-0 victory over Mbeya City in a match played yesterday at Azam Complex in Chamazi.
In an entertaining encounter, Azam FC showcased attractive, high-quality football from the opening minute, with key attacking midfielder Feisal Salum, popularly known as 'Fei Toto', continuing his impressive scoring form this season.
Azam's goal fest began late in the first half when Iddy Seleman, known as 'Nado', opened the scoring in the 45+4th minute, capping off an excellent attacking move and sending his team into the break with a 1-0 lead.
The second half began at a lively pace as Mbeya City tried to fight their way back into the match, but Azam's defence remained solid. In the 64th minute, Feisal Salum, 'Fei Toto', demonstrated his quality by scoring the second goal, sending the "Wanalambalamba" supporters into celebration.
Azam FC's coach made substitutions that paid off, as Hassan Mubiru scored the team's third goal in the 73rd minute before Kipre Zunon drove the final nail into Mbeya City's coffin with a goal in the 90+1st minute of stoppage time.
