Kariakoo Derby: Simba SC will bounce back from Yanga SC defeat - Vandenbroeck

Simba SC coach Sven Vandenbroeck has assured fans they will bounce back from their Mainland Premier League derby defeat against rivals Young Africans (Yanga SC).

Yanga scooped the derby bragging rights after defeating the defending champions 1-0 in a sparkling match played on Sunday at the packed National Stadium in Dar es Salaam with Ghanaian international Bernard Morrison netting the winner a few minutes before the breather.

It was the third defeat for Simba this season which saw them remain in the driving seat of the 20-team table with 68 points from 27 matches as they still look unshakable towards retaining the league title.
