Simba drop points as gap at the top widens further

Moshi. Defending Champions Simba today further dented their hopes of retaining the NBC Premier League trophy after a barren draw with Police Tanzania.

The drawn now leaves them 10 points adrift from their arch-rivals Yanga who are yet to lose a game this term.

With attention seemingly focused on the CAF Confederation quarter finals, Simba started with what was almost a second string side.

The changes that were made after the break could not break a resolute Police side that seemed determined to pick up a point from the champions.

However, even with such a dismal performance the coaching staff are yet to throw in the towel, saying in football anything can happen.

Simba will now have 7 days to prepare for the game against South Africa's Orlando Pirates on Sunday, April 17 at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
