Yanga SC vs Tanzania Prisons: Why did TFF hire 'blind' referee, asks Asukilie

Tanzania Prisons captain Benjamin Asukile is unhappy about what he describes as poor officiating and favouritism in the 1-0 loss to Yanga SC in the FA Cup.

In the game played at the Nelson Mandela Stadium on Friday, Yacouba Songne was the hero for Timu ya Wananchi as his 55th-minute goal secured the quarter-final berth for his side.

However, the administrative charges were denied a massive chance to equalize as the referee ignored calls for a penalty even after it was obvious Lamine Moro had fouled Jeremia Juma in the danger zone.
