Simba SC head coach Robertinho Oliviera can now afford a smile after he got one over arch-rivals Young Africans in the Charity Shield on Sunday evening at the Mukwakwani stadium in Tanga.
Both sides played out an entertaining goalless draw taking the game straight to penalties which Simba won 3-1, with goalkeeper Ally Salim saving three penalties, including one from Khalid Aucho.
Uganda Cranes international Gift Fred made the 18-man squad but could only watch from the bench, while Aucho featured in the entire game.
The charity shield win is Simba’s first silverware in two seasons, with Young Africans having dominated with two domestic treble campaigns.
