The Women’s Premier League (WPL) is nearing its conclusion, but Yanga Princess continue to struggle after being held to a 1-1 draw by JKT Queens at Isamuhyo Stadium today.
JKT Queens took the lead before Yanga Princess responded through Jeanine Mukandayisenga, who scored the equalizer to salvage a point for her side.
The result means Yanga Princess have now gone four consecutive matches without a win, recording two defeats and two draws during that period.
Yanga Princess remain in second place with 44 points, just one point ahead of third-placed JKT Queens. However, JKT Queens still have a game in hand, which could see them move above Yanga Princess in the standings.
The title race has already been decided after Simba Queens secured the championship with a victory over Mashujaa Queens, taking their tally to 56 points and putting the trophy beyond the reach of their rivals.
Yanga Princess enjoyed a strong start to the season, but their form has declined significantly in recent weeks. Many observers point to the defeat against Simba Queens as a turning point in their campaign, after which results became increasingly difficult to come by.
With the season drawing to a close, attention is likely to shift toward strengthening the squad when the next transfer window opens, as the club looks to mount a stronger challenge in the future.
