On Wednesday evening, Simba SC defeated Azam 2-0 in a Domestic Cup game played at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam. The win was made possible by a goal from John Bocco, assisted by Kenyan international midfielder Francis Kahata, and a second-half strike from Cleotus Chama.
According to Kahata, the game was not easy, and the team had to fight hard to secure the win. Speaking to Nairobi News on July 2, 2020, Kahata said, 'It was one of the toughest games I have played this season but I think we were very motivated since we had already won the league coming into this match. We are very keen to make it a double by winning the Domestic Cup as well.'
Simba SC will face bitter rivals Yanga in the semifinal on Sunday, July 12, with Division One side Sahare All Stars facing Namungo FC in the other semifinal a day earlier. The final will be played early in August.
Francis Kahata joined Simba SC mid-2019 from Kenyan champions Gor Mahia.
