Young Africans (Yanga SC) assistant captain Juma Abdul has pleaded with club fans to forgive them after the embarrassing 4-1 defeat against rivals Simba SC in the FA Cup on Sunday.
Goals from Gerson Fraga, Clatous Chama, Luis Miquissone and Muzamiru Yassin were enough to make Simba fans smile wide at a half-packed National Stadium, and kept alive their hopes of sealing a double this season.
On the other hand, the defeat dashed Yanga’s hopes of earning a direct ticket to the Caf Confederation Cup next season.
