Tanzania Premier League champions Young Africans (Yanga) conceded a stoppage time equaliser to settle for a 1-1 draw against Mtibwa Sugar, extending their winless run to three at Jamhuri Stadium in Dodoma Saturday, March 21, 2026.
Ivorian winger Pacome Zouzoua calmly found the back of the net to register his fourth league goal of the season and give his side a deserved lead in the 24th minute.
Mtibwa scored a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser in the 90+2 minute through Ismail Mhesa, who capitalised on a lapse in concentration to rescue a point for the two times Tanzania Premier League winners Mtibwa Sugar.
The draw marks Yanga’s third in a row, having previously been held to a goalless draw by Azam on March 15, followed by another 0-0 result against TRA on March 18, indicating a pattern of struggles particularly in breaking down opponents and finishing chances.

The result takes Yanga to 38 points from 16 matches, ensuring they remain at the top of the league standings, but it also highlights a worrying trend of dropped points that could become significant as the title race intensifies in the coming weeks.
For Mtibwa Sugar, the point earned is valuable in their own campaign, as they remain ninth in the standings with 22 points from 17 matches.
