Polisi Tanzania defeated DJKT Tanzania 2:0 in the Ligi Kuu Bara Regular Season on Wednesday. The hosts took all three points at home, extending their unbeaten run to four matches. DJKT fell to their second defeat of the campaign, dropping to 11th in the table.
J. Mtegeta broke the deadlock just before the interval, scoring at 45+1 minutes. The goal came after a period of pressure from the home side, who had been chasing the game despite DJKT's possession advantage. By then, the hosts had already seen two yellow cards issued, one at 25 minutes and another at 33.
The second goal arrived at the 65-minute mark, putting the result beyond doubt. To be fair, the hosts had managed the game well since going in front. They tightened things up after the break, limiting DJKT's chances despite the visitors controlling more of the ball. The clean-sheet run came to an end for DJKT, who had kept one clean sheet in their previous four outings.
The statistics tell a familiar story. DJKT enjoyed 60 per cent possession and registered 90 attacks compared to 80, but only managed three shots on target. Polisi Tanzania were sharper, landing eight efforts on goal with seven more hitting the woodwork. And here's the thing — efficiency often matters more than territory in these encounters.
The result leaves Polisi Tanzania at seventh with seven points from four games. DJKT remain on four points, their form showing inconsistency with results including a heavy 3:1 defeat to Young Africans. This was a match decided by moments, not territory — and the hosts took theirs when it counted.
