Young Africans venom striker Fiston Mayele has seized command of the NBC Premier League top scorers’ chart after netting a brace in their 2-0 win against Dodoma Jiji at Liti Stadium in Singida on Tuesday afternoon.
It is his eighth goal of the season and has scored five goals in two consecutive league matches. On second place on the top chart is Mbeya City’s net burster Sixtus Sabilo with seven goals.
Mayele nearly missed a chance to seal a second hat-trick as his 81st minute one to one opportunity against Dodoma Jiji goalie Daniel narrowly oozed wide.
With the victory, Yanga are back on top of the premier league table with 29 points similar to Azam but the latter are second on the ladder on goal average.
Simba sit on third place with 27 points but could regain the helm if they manage to excel over Mbeya City at Sokoine Stadium in Mbeya tomorrow.
For Dodoma Jiji, water levels continue to rise as they have succumbed to a seventh defeat of the campaign from 12 matches, generating 9 points and are 15th on the log.
Yanga were forced to make unintentional substitution shortly before half-time after skipper Bakari Mwamnyeto was stretched out for Ibrahim Bacca.
Again, early in the second half, Feisal Salum was ejected after picking up an injury compelling Head Coach Nassredine Nabi to introduce Gael Bigrimana.
As usual, when the clock ticked 47th minute, members and fans of Yanga stood and clapped while chanting GSM, GSM, GSM acknowledging the club’s investor Ghalib Said Mohamed.9
