Simba join Young Africans as Tanzania becomes only country to deploy two clubs in CAF CL quarter finals
DAR ES SALAAM: It is all smiles as Tanzania becomes the only country to deploy two teams in the CAF Champions League (CAF CL) quarterfinals.
The feat has been made possible following Simba’s 6-0 triumph over Jwaneng Galaxy at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Saturday night.
The Reds have gallantry marched into the last eight thanks to Saidi Ntibazonkiza (7), Par Omar Jobe (14), Kibu Denis (22), Clatous Chama (76), Ladack Chasambi (86) and Fabrice Ngoma (90) goals.
The Msimbazi street giants have since joined the Jangwani street based side Young Africans into the quarters of the lucrative football contest on the continent.
It is the first time that Tanzania deploys two flag bearers in the champions league an indicator that football standards have scaled up.
As such, Abdelhak Benchikha’s men have been awarded 30m/- from President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s goal motivation package as she buys each goal for 5m/-.
