Simba 1 Mafunzo 0
Simba SC edged Mafunzo 1-0 in a Muungano Cup quarter-final clash staged at the New Amaan Complex in Zanzibar.
After a barren first half, the breakthrough for Simba finally arrived when Selemani Mwalimu found the back of the net eight minutes after the restart.
Simba’s victory secured their progression to the semi-finals of the eight-team tournament, which features sides drawn from both mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar.
The five-time winners of the competition will now turn their attention to a semi-final showdown against Mlandege.
The annual competition, featuring eight teams, four from Tanzania Mainland and four from Zanzibar, is held to commemorate the Union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar on April 26. All matches are being played at the same venue.
