Cecafa Cup: Zanzibar was punished by Tanzania because of one mistake – Suleiman

Zanzibar coach Hemed “Morocco” Suleiman believes his side lost to Tanzania in the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup because of one mistake.

The Zanzibar Heroes were looking to get a win that could have revived their hopes of reaching the semi-finals suffered a 1-0 defeat to the Taifa Stars courtesy of a 38th-minute goal from Dimitri Nchimbi.

The defeat has now left Zanzibar with a tall order to progress as they take on Kenya in their final group match on Thursday. Kenya have already qualified for last four having won their first two matches, against Tanzania and Sudan.
