Harambee Stars custodian Farouk Shikalo could not do anything in goal to prevent his former side Yanga SC from walking away with all the three points when his Mtibwa Sugar outfit travelled to take on the defending champions on Tuesday evening.In the match staged at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium, the Kenyan international, who was included in the starting eleven, failed to keep a clean sheet as Yanga maintained their unbeaten start to the 2022/2023 season with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Mtibwa.The onslaught from Yanga started in the 32nd minute when Democratic Republic of Congo international Djuma Shabani fired in a direct free kick from outside the area to give Yanga the lead after catching Shikalo napping in goal.Just five minutes later, another DRC international in Fiston Mayele doubled Yanga’s lead with a beautiful solo goal that came off the home side catching Mtibwa on the counterattack to give his side some breathing space at half time.In the second half, Mtibwa managed to contain the defending champions for a better part of the half but Shikalo’s woes were compounded when Burkinabe international Stephane Aziz Ki, in the second minute of added time, fired a shot from outside the area that sneaked into the back of the net to seal the emphatic 3-0 win.𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦 Magoli ya mchezo wetu wa #LigiKuu dhidi ya Mtibwa Sugar.#TimuYaWananchi #DaimaMbeleNyumaMwiko pic.twitter.com/x6RwagbZ7M— Young Africans SC (@yangasc1935) September 13, 2022 With the victory, Yanga bounced back to winning ways and jumped to the top of the table where they now sit on 10 points after four games (W3 D1).Elsewhere, former Gor Mahia midfielder Kenneth Muguna was not in the Azam matchday squad that battled to a hard-fought 0-1 victory against Mbeya City courtesy of Idris Mbombo’s 60th-minute strike.The win pushed Azam to second on the log on 8 points.
