Tanzania â Sensational derby awaits Simba and Yanga
Tanzania football giants Simba SC and Young Africans âYangaâ lock horns in the â
Kariakoo Derbyâ on Saturday (8 May 2021) evening, at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium, Dar es Salaam.
They meet for the third time this season, after having a 1-1 draw in the first round of the Tanzania Premier League (VPL), before Yanga won the Mapinduzi Cup final on penalties last January to lift their first trophy of the season.
Simba sits on top of VPL with 61 points after 25 games, while their rivals Yanga - who led the table for so long - they dropped to second place with 57 points from 27 games.

When is Kariakoo Derby between Simba SC & Yanga SC and how can I watch?

This will be the first
Kariakoo Derby for both coaches – Simba’s Didier Gomes Da Rosa, who joined the team on January 24 following the exit of Belgian Sven Vandenbroeck, and Yanga’s Nasreddine Nabi, who was appointed on April 23 after the club moved to sack Burundian Cedric Kaze owing to a series of poor performances.
Da Rosa has so far led Simba in 10 league matches without losing a single game, winning eight and drawing two matches - against Azam FC and Tanzania Prisons - both played at Mkapa Stadium.
On the continental scene, Da Rosa set a record with Simba after he guided them to the Champions League quarter-finals from a tough Group A, which also had African champions Al Ahly from Egypt, AS Vita Club of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Al Merrikh of Sudan.

Kariakoo Derby: Simba SC will come into match under pressure' - Ambani

Goal on Monday.
"The Kariakoo Derby has always been interesting and the best part of it is that it is unpredictable, it can go either way. However, putting the current form aside, I believe Simba come into the match under pressure, the reason being, they have not won any of the last three league derbies."
The former AFC Leopards and Tusker striker went on to explain what both teams should do to stand a chance of bagging maximum points.
"In the derby, it does not matter who is on form, what matters is how you woke up in that particular day," Ambani continued.

Manara hits back at 'old Onyango' sayers after Simba SC defender won March club's award

Since then, the 28-year-old has proved to be a consistent performer, and recently he won the club's March player of the month ahead of Aishi Manula and Mozambique international Luis Miquissone.
The Mnyama communications officer has now taken to his social media platforms to hit back at those who criticized the signing.
"Where are those who said Simba have old defenders who will struggle this season?"
"Even some analysts were quick to claim the [Onyango] signing will flop. How are you feeling now? Let us assume Oyango is old, so which youthful defender can be compared to him?
"Lest you don't know, Onyango is used to winning awards and many more are coming. Critics don't have a place to hide their faces."

Gor Mahia dominance to blame for Mashemeji Derby's decline' - Simba SC keeper Manula

Mashemeji Derby was doing well and it was exciting to watch," Manula told
Goal.
"However, Gor Mahia have been dominating which in a way has affected the derby. Other teams are struggling to match them [including rivals Leopards] and it has made the derby's spark go down.
"It is different with the
Kariakoo Derby because both Simba and Yanga are almost at par. It makes the derby unpredictable and as a result, many fans come in large numbers to support their respective teams."
The 25-year-old also explained why the Tanzania Mainland League is fast gaining popularity in the East Africa region and the entire continent at large.

Mapinduzi Cup: Why Yanga SC and Azam FC clash went to penalties – Kaze

The Belgian tactician, who is still unbeaten since joining Yanga as a replacement for Serbian Zlatko Krmpotic, has revealed his players deserved to win the game in normal time but they relaxed, which allowed Azam to hold them to a draw.
“The intensity of the match was high but the match was very slow,” Kaze said as quoted by
“We did not pressurise our opponents for more goals, instead we got back to defend and this resulted for Azam to gain the confidence to recovery and score an equalizer.”
Kaze has, however, praised his players for their quality from the penalty spot and said they are in the final to win the trophy.

Mapinduzi Cup: Simba SC defeat Namungo to set up Yanga SC Kariakoo Derby final

Their opponents were in Group C, and after a 1-0 loss to Yanga, they defeated Jamhuri 2-0 to qualify as the best losers since the Jangwani Street-based charges finished top of the group.
In Monday's semi-final, Namungo were aiming at avenging the 2-1 loss suffered against Simba in the 2019/20 FA Cup final.
Things did not go as planned for Namungo as Wekundu wa Msimbazi scored their first goal after just seven minutes. A long ball was played and the goalkeeper came a long way to try and play it out to safety.
However, the custodian failed to communicate the same to his defender Abdul Humud. The latter headed to his goalkeeper who was already out of position and Kagere capitalised on it to direct the ball into an empty net.

Looking at Vandenbroeck's record at Simba SC after shock exit

The former Zambia head coach won three titles in one year after stellar performances in the domestic competitions.
He helped the Msimbazi side defend the league title for the third time in a row, won the Azam Shield Cup as well as the Community Shield Cup.
In 55 matches he oversaw, Vandenbroeck registered wins on 39 occasions, 10 draws were recorded and they got just six losses.
The win includes a 4-1 defeat inflicted on their archrivals Yanga SC during the Azam Shield Cup semi-final on their way to winning the second title in the year. In the six draws, one of them came during a highly-contested Kariakoo Derby on January 4 where they ended up conceding two goals to help Yanga fight back for a 2-2 scoreline.
