Yanga SC has returned to the top of the league table with a convincing 3-1 victory over Namungo FC at Majaliwa Stadium in Ruangwa, Lindi.
Despite missing several key players due to various reasons, Yanga managed to reach 46 points, two ahead of second-placed Azam FC, who have played three games fewer.
The match initially did not seem like it would produce a high number of goals, but nine minutes in the second half were all it took for Yanga to turn things around and score three goals through Mudathir Yahya, Clement Mzize, and Stephane Aziz Ki.
After a goalless first half, the scoreboard started ticking in the 53rd minute when Mudathir, who has been in impressive form this season, gave his team the lead with a well-placed right-footed finish after receiving a pass from Aziz Ki.
Aziz Ki then scored his 11th goal of the league season, one behind leader Feisal Salum ‘Fei Toto’ who has 12 goals so far. The goal also marked Yao’s seventh assist of the season, one behind leader Kipre Junior who has eight assists.
