Simba SC roared to 3-1 win against Biashara United to remain on course to win a third consecutive Mainland Premier League title.
Going into the match at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam, Simba knew very well a win of any kind will help them open a huge gap ahead of second-placed Azam FC and give them the edge of winning the title.
However, Simba were forced to wait until in the 35th minute to get the opener when Luis Miquissone rifled home after being put through by Kenyan midfielder Francis Kahata.
Simba enjoyed a 1-0 lead at the half-time break but it was Biashara United, under Kenyan coach Francis Baraza, who came back a more rejuvenated side pushing for an equaliser.
