Defending Cecafa Kagame Cup champions Yanga have retained their crown
after a superb 2-0 win over debutants Azam in an exciting final played
at the National Stadium, Dar es Salaam.
Hamisi Kiiza broke the deadlock a minute before half time after a
defensive blunder by Azam's Said Morad whose back pass was intercepted
by the Yanga striker who then lobbed the ball over an advancing Munishi
in Azam's goal.
Haruna Niyonzima's creativity at the middle of the park was driving
Yanga as his deft passes and sublime runs troubled the Azam defence and
deep in injury time he set up Said Bahanuzi who blasted a screamer to
give Yanga the deserved 2-0 win with his sixth goal of the tourney.
After the final whistle the multitude of fans sang song of praises as they ululated to Yanga's win.
The win saw Yanga pocket USD 30000 while the losers took home silver and USD 20000.
