The goal makes Yanga return on top of the 16-team league with 59 points followed by Simba who have 57 points, and the Msimbazi Street side may return to the pilot seat if they defeat Toto Africa of Mwanza in another league match set for today on the same ground.Simba will reach 60 points if they beat the Lake Zone

Msuva scored the goal in the 47th minute after using Haruna Niyonzima’s freekick to beat Mtibwa Sugar goalie Said Mohamed.

Mtibwa Sugar made a number of changes with the aim of equalizing but coach Macky Maxime’s move could not bear fruits. He replaced Ibrahim Rajab forHenry Joseph and Yanga introduced Amissi Tabwe for Deus Kaseke.

Mtibwa Sugar remain in the fourth place with 43 points from 26 games
