‘I take the blame’ – Simba SC’s Da Rosa after Yanga SC derby defeat

The French tactician calls for forgiveness from the fans after the Msimbazi giants lost to their rivals in the top-flight clash

Simba SC coach Didier Gomes Da Rosa has taken full responsibility for the team’s 1-0 defeat against rivals Yanga SC in the Kariakoo derby.

On Saturday, the Jangwani giants took the bragging rights after beating their Msimbazi rivals, with over 30,000 fans in attendance, including Tanzania President Samia Suluhu Hassan at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.

A first-half goal from Zawadi Mauya ensured Yanga delayed Simba’s celebrations for winning a fourth straight title and they will now have to wait and win their next league assignment against KMC FC to be declared champions.
