Yanga continued their dominance in the NBC Premier League with a hard-fought 1β0 victory over Namungo FC at Majaliwa Stadium in Ruangwa.
A 26th-minute penalty converted by Depu proved decisive, securing three vital points for Wananchi and lifting them to second place in the league standings.
Yanga were awarded the penalty after Maxi Nzengeli was fouled inside the penalty area, giving Depu the opportunity to calmly slot home from the spot.
It was a tightly contested match with limited clear-cut chances, as Namungo FC offered strong resistance and made life difficult for the visitors throughout the encounter.
Attacking midfielder Allan Okello had the best chance of the second half but failed to capitalize, missing an opportunity to open his goal account since joining Yanga.
In the end, it was a crucial away victory and three highly valuable points for Yanga as they continue their push in the title race.
