(Video) Prince Dube’s Hat-Trick Secures Young Africans’ 3-2 Win Over Mashujaa

Young Africans (Yanga) continued their push for the top spot in the Tanzania Mainland Premier League, securing a 3-2 victory over Mashujaa on Thursday. The match saw Prince Dube score a hat-trick, with the Zimbabwean striker delivering all three goals for the hosts.

In the eighth minute, Dube scored the first goal after Pacôme Zouzoua's pass. In the 22nd minute, after a flurry in front of the Mashujaa goal, he headed the goal to increase the lead. Even though Mashujaa put up a fierce fight and equalized just before halftime with a long-range attempt from David Uromi, Dube took the lead again early in the second half with another header.

Although Khomeiny Barwany’s poor goalkeeping allowed Mashujaa to score again, Yanga held on for the win. The victory leaves them just three points behind leaders Azam FC with three games in hand.
