In the Tanzania NBC Premier League, Simba SC defeated their traditional rivals Yanga SC 2-1 in the Kariakoo Derby at Uhuru Stadium. Although Yanga SC took an early lead in the fifth minute via Peter Shalulile, Simba SC achieved a second-half comeback with goals from Neo Maema in the 67th minute and Elie Mpanzu in the 72nd minute. Mpanzu was named player of the match. The victory ended a streak of over three years where Simba SC had failed to defeat Yanga in league matches. This result places Simba SC at the top of the standings with 21 points, while Yanga SC remains closely behind with 18 points. Simba head coach Steve Barker attributed the performance to extensive preparations, including a training camp in South Africa. Following the match, Yanga SC communications officer Ali Kamwe stated that the result does not derail the club’s championship ambitions and emphasized the need to refocus on upcoming CAF Champions League fixtures. Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan also congratulated Simba SC, noting the role of sports in fostering national unity. In other league action, Kagera Sugar secured a 3-1 victory against Mbeya City at Sokoine Stadium, marking the first win for Burundian coach Cedric Kaze since his appointment in September. Mudathir Said was named player of the match after scoring two goals, with additional scores from Emmanuel Mvuyekule and Hassan Haji ‘Cheda’. Following the derby, the match has drawn scrutiny regarding league management. Concerns were raised regarding the use of Uhuru Stadium for training sessions prior to the derby and delays in ticket sales. Critics have called for the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) and the Tanzania Premier League Board (TPLB) to ensure regulations are applied consistently to avoid perceptions of bias.
