Yanga SC’s Siwa: Don’t blame Shikalo because Dube’s Azam FC goal was top class

Yanga SC have come to the defence of goalkeeper Farouk Shikalo after the goal scored by Azam FC denied them points in a Mainland Premier League match at Mkapa Stadium on Sunday.

Many Yanga fans felt the Kenyan custodian was at fault for failing to save the long-range strike from Zimbabwean striker Prince Dube which came from outside the box in the 86th minute as the goal earned Azam maximum points in the Dar derby.

Dube picked a loose ball from outside the 18-yard box, looked around as if to pass the ball but noticed Shikalo was off his line and unleashed a thunderous effort which the keeper tried to save but instead helped it on to hit the back of the net.
