Azam FC and Mwadui FC registered a 0-0 draw in their Saturday Mainland Premier League encounter at Mwadui Complex.
Azam had to make a change in the 27th minute when Prince Dube was injured and his place was filled by Mpiana Monzinzi. The draw could be seen as a blow for the Ice-cream Makers who could have narrowed the gap between them and Simba to just one point had they defeated Mwadui.
Simba, although they are yet to play three catch-up games, are second to Yanga SC and were committed to a Caf Champions League tie against Al-Merrikh.
