George Lwandamina’s elusive wait for his first Dar-es-Salaam derby win continues after Young Africans were beaten away by 10-man Simba.
The result saw Lwandamina still without a win over archrivals Simba in two meetings since he took over in late December.
Simba rallied to beat Young Africans 2-1 after Zambia winger Aubrey Chirwa had put them 1-0 into the break from a 5th minute penalty spot.
Simba then lost Novatus Lufunga through a 55th minute red card but equalised 11 minutes later through Laudit Mavugo before Shiza Kichuya sealed the win for ten-man Simba in the 81st minute.
Young Africans defeat was also Lwandamina’s first in the Tanzanian league since his arrival three months ago.
Simba initially denied Lwandamina a win last January when they beat Young Africans 4-2 on post-match penalties in the Mapinduzi Cup semifinals in Zanzibar after the match had finished 0-0.
Simba now lead the table on 54 points from 23 games while Young Africans are 2nd on 49 points with a match in hand with overall seven rounds left to play.
Meanwhile, Young Africans will on March 11 hosts Zanaco in a 2017 CAF Champions League first round, first leg match in Dar-es-Salaam.
Lwandamina arrived in Tanzania three months ago, then they denied them a win last January?? What am I missing….
Simba is the best team in Tanzania …for sure the simba brand got no comparison in East and central Africa….
