Simba SC head coach Fadlu Davids has expressed his delight with the way his players approached their Mainland Premier League game against KenGold at the KMC Complex on Wednesday.
Despite the fixture coming after their energy sapping Caf Confederation Cup victory against CS Sfaxien, the Wekundu wa Mzimbazi managed a 2-0 win. Davids expressed satisfaction with his players’ ability to secure the clean sheet and maintain their form.
“I give credit to KenGold FC; they challenged us,” Davids said after the match as quoted by the Guardian. “Just two days ago, we had a very intense CAF Confederation Cup game against CS Sfaxien. I’m happy with how my players approached this match, and keeping a clean sheet is a bonus.”
He continued: “It’s not just about giving players minutes; it’s about rewarding their hard work during training sessions. We missed Shomari Kapombe, who was replaced by Kelvin Kijili. Kapombe picked up a knock, and the medical team will assess him before our next match against Kagera Sugar.”
On Simba’s tight schedule, the South African coach explained: “It’s hard to prepare with just two days between matches, but we focus on recovery to keep the energy and momentum going.”
Simba will face Kagera Sugar at Kaitaba Stadium on Saturday in another crucial league encounter. The team will then return to Dar es Salaam for a December 24 fixture against JKT Tanzania before traveling to Singida to face Singida Black Stars on December 28.
