Simba humiliate Yanga




Champions Simba Sports Club thrashed bitter rivals Yanga SC 5-0 in the Dar es Salaam derby at the National Stadium on the final day of the 2011-2012 season.
The win matched Simba’s biggest ever win over Yanga as the victors were handed their league diadem equaling the record of their rivals of 18 league titles.
Ugandan striker Emmanuel Okwi was the undoubted star of the match scoring twice and playing a part in the other three.
Simba enjoyed a dream start to the derby going ahead in the first minute through Okwi. Drama would unfold in the second half as the winners and Okiw in particular ran riot.
First, Okwi and Felix Sunzu combined but the Ugandan was brought down in the box with the referee pointing to the spot. Sunzu stepped up to make it 2-0 on 55 minutes.
After the goal, Yanga made changes as Ghanian Keneth Asamoah came on for Davis Mwape in the 56th minute and soon after the change, Simba caught Yanga out with another counter attack as Okwi scored Simba's third goal and his second of the afternoon on 53 minutes.
Okwi was at the centre of everything and he earned his side another penalty after being fouled in the box. This time skipper Juma Kasseja stepped to score and make it 4-0 in the 67th minute.
Yanga could not live with Okwi and Athumani Iddi tripped him in the 18 yard box with Patrick Mafisango sealing Simba's victory by dispatching the penalty.
The win matches Simba’s biggest win over their arch rivals. In 1968, Yanga beat Simba 5-0, and nine years later Simba got their revenge beat Yanga 5-0.
