Yanga have collected all three points in Kigoma after securing a 2-0 victory over Mashujaa FC in an NBC Premier League match.
Mudathir Yahya gave Yanga the lead in the 28th minute with a powerful strike from outside the penalty area, finishing off a pass from Prince Dube.
Yanga could have sealed the game in the first half, as they created several chances, with Maxi Nzengeli and Dube both missing clear opportunities.
In the second half, Yanga slowed down their tempo, allowing Mashujaa FC more control of the game while the visitors relied on counter-attacks.
Just when the match looked set to end 1-0, a late attacking move produced Yanga’s second goal, scored by captain Bakari Mwamnyeto.
The victory strengthens Yanga’s position at the top of the league table, now extending their lead to five points over rivals Simba, who will face Pamba Jiji on Sunday.
