On Sunday, Citizens will flood at the Benjamin Mkapa stadium in the group stage game of the CAF Confederation Cup against TP Mazembe. The game will be played at 7 pm
It is a match that comes with different events and memories for Yanga fans
The return of their former favorite midfielder Mukoko Tonombe who joined TP Mazembe in the min registration window last season
Mukoko served Yanga for a year and a half as one of the senior players
However, after the big signings made by Yanga towards the 2021/22 season, Mukoko faced a difficult time to get a place in coach Nasreddine Nabi's squad
Later Yanga decided to use him in the signing agreement of winger Chico Ushindi who came from Mazembe and Mukoko to join Mazembe
Sunday will be the first time for Mukoko to meet his former employers
But this is also a revenge match for Yanga, these teams met in the competition in 2016 at that time the group stage had only eight teams, Yanga being in group A with TP Mazembe, Mo Bejaia and Medeama
TP Mazembe emerged with a 1-0 victory in a game that brought out the talent of winger Juma Mahadhi who, however, injuries affected the continuation of his talent
Citizens remember when the Chairman Yusufu Manji paid for the tickets for all the fans and so the Mkapa stadium was full at 11am in the morning
Many citizens came out to wathc the game but were met with tear gas after an attempt to break the gate to force enter the stadium
It will definitely be a unique match, Mwananchi, make sure you buy your ticket early...!
