Fadlu Davids makes an important statement about his team's future in the league!

Simba SC head coach Fadlu Davids has set his sights on a flawless finish to the Tanzanian Premier League season, demanding maximum points from their final four matches, including a high-stakes Kariakoo Derby clash against archrivals Young Africans (Yanga) on June 15.

The Msimbazi Reds kept their title hopes alive with a gritty 2-1 comeback victory over KMC this weekend. Despite conceding an early shocker to Rashid Chambo’s 8th-minute opener, Steven Mukwala’s quickfire equalizer (16’) and second-half winner (47’) sealed a crucial three points. The result narrows Yanga’s lead at the summit to just one point, setting the stage for a dramatic finale.

Davids, the South African tactician, immediately shifted focus to the title run-in, stressing the need to compartmentalize emotions after their recent CAF Champions League semi-final exit. “It’s very difficult to switch from the semi-final euphoria,” he admitted post-match. “But we’ve refocused: 12 points from these four games is non-negotiable. Trust the technical team’s decisions on squad rotation.”

The looming derby adds extra fire, Yanga edged October’s reverse fixture 1-0—but Simba’s resurgence under Davids suggests this title race will go down to the wire.
