Simba SC's Manara: Chama's missed penalty against Azam FC is part of the game

Simba SC have claimed it is not a crime for their midfielder Clatous Chama to miss a penalty against Azam FC in the Mainland Premier League.

The Zambian star stepped up to take a penalty two minutes after they had taken a deserved lead through Meddie Kagere but Azam keeper Mathias Kigonya, who was making his debut, dived the right way to save the resultant kick.

The miss later turned costly as Azam scored two quick goals in the second half through Idd Selemani and Ayoub Lyanga to make it 2-1 and it needed a late strike from Luis Miquissone to salvage a 2-2 draw for the Msimbazi giants.
