For the first time in a Kariakoo Derby, Yanga attacking midfielder Pacome Zouzoua had a difficult match yesterday.
In the Unity Cup final, where fans had high expectations of his return after missing the previous match, things did not go well for him.
Perhaps it was due to the tight marking imposed by Simba, but there were also moments where he could have performed better, although he was slow in making decisions.
It is a match that Pacome needs to forget quickly and focus on improving certain aspects of his game so that he can deliver what is expected of him on Sunday.
After losing the Unity Cup, Yanga now have to fight to defend the two remaining titles: the Premier League and the CRDB Cup.
A victory in Sundayβs match against Simba will place Yanga in a strong position to defend the league title, as they currently lead the table by five points.
