Dar giants reap 85m/-from Presidential motivation
DAR ES SALAAM giants; Simba and Young Africans have so far pocketed 85m/- from President Samia Suluhu Hassan for the goals they scored in the group stage of CAF Interclub Games.
The president buys each goal for 5m/- and the two teams have slotted in 18 goals as each has one game to play before closing up their group stage assignments.
Simba lead the pile after scoring 9 goals in their five played CAF Champions League fixtures hence they have pocketed 45m/- in the process.
They however claimed 35m/- in a single match after thrashing Horoya 7-0 at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Saturday in one of the recent biggest wins in the Champions League.
Prior to that, they clinched 10m/- for scoring two goals in their double 1-0 win against Vipers in a double-header clash.
On the other hand, Yanga have claimed 40m/- for netting eight goals in their five CAF Confederation Cup encounters with seven of them converted at Benjamin Mkapa venue.
Without doubt, it is evident that the president’s goal rewards have contributed a lot in making the two envoys force their way into the quarterfinals.
History has been made as for the first time, the nation deploys two envoys in the last-8 stage of the Champions League and Confederation Cup respectively.
