Sofapaka saw off Bandari FC by a solitary goal at Mbaraki Grounds to share the six points of the season in the tie.Stephen Okola rose highest to head home the all-important goal in the match just three minutes into the second half and Batoto Ba Mungu hold on to that goal for the entire period.Bandari had won by the same scoreline in the first leg courtesy of a second-half strike by Danson Chetambe in a match that Sofapaka finished with a man less after Said Tsuma was given his marching orders.Mwisho wa mchuano.

Majanga. Sofapaka wanatangulia.⏰ 46 | Bandari 0️⃣ – 1️⃣ Sofapaka#BandariNiYetu— Bandari Football Club (@BandariOfficial) June 4, 2022 Bandari seemed like they would have been the side to take the lead first with an excellent display mostly involving William Wadri and his compatriot Umar Kasumba but Simon Masaka was at his best to deny them with the help of his backline.Sofapaka had their chances as well in that half but Roddy Manga and Lawrence Juma were not clinical enough to get the ball in the back of the net.After the goal, the visitors had a brilliant second period, Sébastien Sunday, Rody Manga, and Joe Waithera orchestrating attacks in an attempt to double the lead but it was not meant to be as the game ended with just the one goal.
