Simba Sports Club were held to a 2-2 draw at Kambarage Stadium Shinyanga

Emmanuel Okwi scores his first goal away of the season when his Simba Sports Club were held to a 2-2 draw at Kambarage Stadium Shinyanga Thursday.

Striker John Bocco was the first on target after 9 minutes of the game, finishing off a brilliant Kichuya's cross.

The halftime ended 1-0 to the Msimbazi giants.

Mwadui FC started the second half strongly and David Luhende equalizes after 60 minutes from a free kick outside of 18-yard area of the pitch.

Referee Shomari Lawi awarded a red card to Simba central defender Juuko Murshid in after 65 minutes, leaving Simba with only nine men on the pitch.

Okwi goal came after 71 minutes from a spot kick.

Mwadui FC would not be denied a point ass striker Paul Nonga made matters level in the 89th minute.

Simba still tops the league standing after accumulating 42 points, 5 points ahead of Yanga.

The fans who attended the match may feel aggrieved because they were not treated to a nice game of football because of the poor condition of the pitch.

Both coaches blame the referee for bad translation of 17 laws of football.

Simba Lineup: Aishi Manula, Shomari, Kapombe, Mohammed Hussein, Juuko Murshid, Yusuf Mlipili, Erasto Nyoni, Shiza Kichuya, Said Ndemla, John Bocco, Emmanuel Okwi, and James Kotei
