Simba Maintain Unbeaten Record With Victory Over Azam
Simba secured a 2-0 win against Azam in the sixth round of Ligi Kuu Bara on September 16th. The visitors climbed into second place with five consecutive victories, while the hosts dropped from their winning momentum. To be fair, the result did not come as a shock given Simba's form this season.
The breakthrough came in the fifty-eighth minute when Simba took the lead. Azam's defence, which had kept a clean sheet in their previous two matches, finally conceded. And here's the thing — the goal shifted the pressure entirely onto the home side.
A second strike in the sixty-eighth minute sealed the victory for Simba. By then, Azam had to open up and that left them vulnerable. The hosts worked a short corner in the final ten minutes but could not find the equaliser.
Discipline was an issue throughout the match. Five yellow cards were shown — three to Azam and two to Simba — with the latest coming in stoppage time. The bookings suggest a physical contest, though nothing more serious was required.
The result extends Simba's unbeaten run to eight games across all competitions. Azam, meanwhile, remain winless in their last outing after winning four of their previous five matches. The gap between them narrows to just one point in the table.
Simba now sit on fifteen points from five games, while Azam have fourteen from six. The visitors have played one fewer match but their record of five wins and no draws speaks for itself. Azam will need to find a way to avoid draws if they want to close the gap.
