Young Africans have extended their unbeaten run in the NBC Premier League to 45-matches after beating Geita Gold 1-0 at CCM Kirumba Stadium in Mwanza on Saturday afternoon.
Coming fresh from suspension, Bernard Morrison converted the solitary goal via a controversial spot kick at the stroke of half-time to give his side hard-earned triumph.
The goal is Morrison’s second of the season as Yanga continue to be a thorn in fresh in the unfolding campaign.
With the victory, they have created a five-point lead at the summit of the table with 20 points in the bag as they slowly but steadily get closer to their mission of defending the championship.
For Geita Gold, the upset has placed them on 9th slot with 13 points in the bag from from ten games.
The next brake for Yanga is at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday when they host Club Africain of Tunisia in the CAF Confederation Cup.
The second leg will be played in Tunisia a week later with the overall winner progressing to play in the group stage.
