Before the game against Simba on October 19, approximately 12 Yanga players were in national team roles
Some players were late to return due to travel challenges including goalkeeper Djigui Diarra who landed in the country 3 hours before the game
However, the Yanga players fought and succeeded in emerging with a 1-0 victory against a team that had 95 percent of its squad
On October 22, Yanga came down again to play with JKT Tanzania and won 2-0
After that game, Yanga traveled to Arusha region to face Coastal Union in a game played by Sheikh Amri Abeid on October 26 and emerged with a 1-0 victory
When they left Arusha, the Citizens went to Zanzibar to face Singida Black Stars on October 30 in a difficult game in which the Citizens managed to emerge with a 1-0 victory
Yesterday Yanga went down to Azam Complex again three days after facing Singida BS
The last match for Azam Fc was against KenGold on October 25, so they had a whole week to rest before playing with Yanga while Wananchi played two tough matches in seven days before their match with Azam Fc
Obviously it was a difficult schedule for Yanga, especially in the game against Azam Fc early on they lost an important player and had to play more than 70 minutes when they were short
The players of Yanga and the technical bench deserve congratulations for fighting in the schedule and succeeding in taking 12 points out of 15 points
In a period of 14 days, Yanga has played against Simba, JKT Tanzania, Coastal Union, Singida Black Stars and Azam Fc in matches that alternated three to four days!
