Siraje Sentamu is one of the players whose performance stood out on the day and says that experience picked up on that day will be critical against Simba on Tuesday.
August 9th 2022, is a day Vipers SC will forever remember in the club's history. The Venoms had been invited by giants Young Africans to grace the 'Week ya Wanainchi' celebrations in a friendly game.
Milton Karisa's strike in the game's first minute silenced the 60,000-capacity Yanga crowd as Vipers beat the hosts by that solitary strike.
Siraje Sentamu is one of the players whose performance stood out on the day and says that experience picked up on that day will be critical against Simba on Tuesday.
"We respect Simba, but our mission here is to win," Sentamu told Pulse Sports before adding.
"It's not our first time in Tanzania because we beat Yanga here at a fully packed stadium, so we have faced that atmosphere before and know what to expect."
The absence of key players, like experienced centre-back Murushid Juuko and captain Milton Kariisa, is a big blow to the Ugadnan champions.
Still, the hard-tackling midfielder says the available players are equally up to the task.
"Yes, we shall miss their experience, but the available players are equally up to the task. We need to create chances and score goals."
Vipers sit at the bottom of group A with one point after three match days, while Simba is third with a point better.
