The Media and Communications Manager of Yanga, Ali Kamwe, has admitted that the team was not at its best in the NBC Premier League match against Simba played yesterday at the New Amaan Complex, which ended in a goalless draw.
Kamwe praised goalkeeper Djigui Diarra for keeping Yanga in the match throughout the 90 minutes and helping the team secure an important point, maintaining their five-point lead over rivals Simba.
"I congratulate Simba, they played well and had a chance to win this match, but we had a big player in goal. Djigui Diarra helped us secure one point."
"The shortcomings that appeared in this match have been noted by the technical bench and will be worked on during training."
"The league is still long. This was only match number 11. Today we have earned one point, and the difference between us and them is five points as we continue with the league."
"It should be understood that at the end of the season, the one who will be remembered is the champion, not who won the derby. Today we have earned one important point, and the gap between us is five points," said Kamwe.
Yangaβs next match will be against Singida BS on March 5 at the Airtel Stadium in Singida.
