On form Simba delight coach

SIMBA Head Coach Roberto Oliveira expressed his satisfaction following his team’s 2-0 win over Dodoma Jiji at Uhuru Stadium in Dar es Salaam over the weekend.

Following the second victory Simba continue to dictate terms at the summit after Mashujaa and Geita Gold, who were previously poised to grab the helm, failed to do it in their match staged at Lake Tanganyika Stadium in Kigoma on Monday.

Two goals from Jean Baleke and substitute Moses Phiri were enough to see Simba maintain a 100-per cent start to the Premier League campaign.

“I am satisfied with the way my team is playing because we have many good players who are determined to help the team win matches all the time.

“I like playing offensive football and for me, football is not a fight but rather a talent and an art…I am happy to see that my players understand well my philosophy because we play well and win games,” said the Brazilian coach after the match.

It was Simba’s second successive victory in the league this season and the team has already scored six goals in two matches after beating Mtibwa Sugar 4-2 and Dodoma Jiji 2-0.

On his part, Dodoma Jiji Assistant Coach Kassim Lyogope said their game plan worked well though they surrendered maximum points at the end.

“We did well to contain them at midfield where their strength is installed but we could not manage to hold on to that because they have good players capable to change the game at any moment,” Lyogope said.

He also commented that despite the defeat, the graph of Dodoma Jiji is growing and that they will come back stronger in their upcoming fixtures.

Likewise, Coastal Union coach Mwinyi Zahera whose team settled a 1-1 draw against Mtibwa Sugar said it was a fair performance to them though their mission was to celebrate a victory.
