Simba SC fought to earn a 2-0 Tanzania Mainland Premier League win over Kagera Sugar on Wednesday at Kaitaba Stadium.
The win – courtesy of goals from Luis Miquissone and Chris Mugalu – is set to pile more pressure on Yanga SC who are at the top and have played more games.
Miquissone scored Simba's opener in the 13th minute as Kagera Sugar took time to figure out how to stop the determined champions.
Mugalu added the second one in the 24th minute as the Sugar Millers looked disjointed especially at the back, giving Simba room to attack from wide areas and attempt long-range shots.
