Young Africans (Yanga SC) laboured to a 1-0 win against Mbao FC in a Tanzanian Mainland Premier League match played on Tuesday.
New signing from Namibia, Sadney Urikhob scored the all-important goal for Yanga after he fastened onto a cross from Mapinduzi Balama to slam home. After the goal, Yanga worked hard to get a second but the Mbao defence remained tight.
Despite being a goal down, Mbao also tried to get an equaliser and their pressure almost paid off in the 70th minute when skipper Said Junior’s diving header was saved by Yanga custodian Farouk Shikalo.
