Yanga SC progressed to the quarter-finals of the Azam Shield Cup after a 1-0 win over Gwambina FC on Wednesday at the Uhuru National Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
Yanga scored the only goal of the match in the 45th minute through Haruna Niyonzima as Gwambina had remained firm at the back for most of the match.
In the second half, Yanga's persistent attacks did not yield any more goals as they emerged with the slim win to join their Mainland arch-rivals Simba SC in the next round of the domestic competition.
