Yanga SC and their arch-rivals Simba SC played to a one-all draw in the Kariakoo Derby staged at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Sunday evening. Harambee Stars defender Joash Onyango was at the thick of things, marshaling Simba’s backline to repulse the attacking threat fronted by Yanga, led by Fiston Mayele, with former Gor Mahia midfielder Khalid Aucho doing duty for Yanga.🎞 Goli la Okrah kwenye mchezo wa leo wa #KariakooDerby#NBCPremierLeague#NguvuMoja pic.twitter.com/LgGEdOQZlo— Simba Sports Club (@SimbaSCTanzania) October 23, 2022 Wekundu wa Msimbazi had the first laugh when they took the lead through Nigerian winger Augustine Okrah after he was let through by Claotous Chota Chama after just 14 minutes but Azizi Ki powered home a left footed shot from a freekick he had earned towards the end of the first half to see the two sides go into the break level. Aucho, as fate would have it was booked in the game together with Fesail Salum for Yanga, while Simba’s goal scorer and Mazamiru Yassin had their say in the referee’s book.We are ready for the Kariokor Derby – Juma MgundaFollowing the result, it means that the last three league meetings in the encounter have ended in draws, with Simba having to go back to 2019 to recall the last time they recorded a derby victory in the league.Despite the two sides each having played at least a match less than all the other teams in the league, they occupy the first and second place on the log, both with 14 points although Simba have the goal advantage over Yanga.
