Defending NBC Premier League champions Yanga SC have reclaimed top spot in the league standings following a 2-0 victory over Fountain Gate at Sheikh Amri Abeid Stadium in Arusha.
The win further highlighted Yanga’s determination and quality as they continue their push to retain the league title.
After a goalless first half, Yanga returned from the break with greater intensity and quickly took control of the contest.
Midfielder Pacôme Zouzoua broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute before striker Depú doubled the advantage just two minutes later, effectively ending Fountain Gate’s hopes of mounting a comeback.
Throughout the match, Yanga displayed excellent discipline, composure, and ball possession, allowing them to dominate large portions of the game despite playing away from home.
The victory takes Yanga to 66 points, moving them back above rivals Simba at the top of the table after the Msimbazi club had temporarily occupied first place for approximately 24 hours.
Yanga now need at least two wins and one draw from their remaining three matches to secure a fifth consecutive NBC Premier League title.
The Citizens’ final fixtures of the season will be against Azam FC, TRA United, and JKT Tanzania.
