Goals from Bernard Morrison and Aziz Ki ensured that Young Africans took a 2-0 lead in the first leg in Dar-es-Salaam.
Head coach Nabbi Nassredine had earlier on highlighted that despite having a 2-0 aggregate lead, the return leg won't be an easy game.
"I am happy for the players, technical team and the club management upon winning the league again,” Nabbi said after his side's 4-2 win over Dodoma Jiiji.
“However we need to remain focused ahead of our return leg. It won't be a simple game that's for sure." he added.
