Yanga SC suffered their second consecutive defeat in the Tanzania Mainland League after falling by a solitary goal against Azam FC on Saturday.
Kagera Sugar had defeated the 27-time champions 3-0 last week, and the visitors needed a quick response to tame runaway leaders and fierce rivals Simba SC. Coach Luc Eymael was also in search of his first win since his appointment as Yanga SC coach.
David Molinga could have opened the scoring for his side after just 11 minutes but failed to hit the target after Balama Mapinduzi had picked him up in a good area.
