Fadlu Davids suffers a new loss: What's going on with Simba SC!

Things are not going the way fans of Tanzanian giants Simba SC would like them to, the results and the league are still not over and today the team returns from a tough loss in the semifinals of the CRDB Bank Federation Cup semifinals on Saturday afternoon.

This loss came as a shock after losing the CAF Confederation final to Moroccan giants RS Berkane and ending the team's hopes of winning the continental crown.

The South African coach's domestic ambitions remain within reach, his side lingering just one point behind Yanga SC after 27 matches in the Tanzanian top flight.

Wednesday's clash told a story of missed opportunities as Simba SC fought back from a two-goal halftime deficit. Ivorian striker Jean Ahoua sparked hopes of a comeback with his second-half strike, but Singida Black Stars delivered a crushing blow with a late goal that effectively booked their place in the final while leaving Simba to rue what might have been.

The result compounds a difficult period for the Confederation Cup finalists, who must now regroup quickly as their league title challenge enters its decisive phase. With three matches remaining, the championship race remains delicately poised, though Wednesday's defeat serves as a stark reminder of the physical and mental toll from their continental exploits.
