Young Africans SC (Yanga SC) started their Tanzania Mainland League campaign with a point after labouring to a 1-1 draw against Tanzania Prisons.
In the last 16 matches between the two sides, the 27-time league champions had managed 10 wins, drawing five and losing just once, a loss that came way in 2018. Last season, Timu ya Wananchi managed to get four points from the administrative side.
With many signings made, the hosts were keen to start on a high to reduce the pressure on them to win silverware and build momentum.
However, it was the administrative side who started the game well, and they were rewarded in the seventh minute.
