Yanga SC came from two goals down to draw 3-3 with Polisi Tanzania in the Tanzania Mainland League on Thursday.
After their loss to Ruvu Shooting by a solitary goal in the season opener, the former champions had aimed at bouncing back with a win, particularly after their disappointing elimination from the Caf Champions League by Zesco United.
The visiting fans were in the dreamland after just six minutes courtesy of Mrisho Ngasa, who expertly put the ball in the back of the net.
However, the goal was a motivator for the hosts who replied with a series of attacks, but their visitors survived.
