Azam FC in yet another set back as they drop another 2 points at Azam complex after hosting confident JKT.
In the second fixture of the day for the Vodacom Premier League, Azam FC was faced with out of relegation zone and confident JKT. The match ended in a draw with both teams sharing a point. This should be a result most likely not welcome to Azam FC’s side as they risk relinquishing their position at the top to Young Africans SC.
JKT held Azam FC very well in this match as they made various attacks at their opponent’s goal in the first half of the game. These attacks paid off in the 44th minute when Micheal Aidan put one in the back fo the net.
Azam FC struggled to contain their weaker opponent but later retaliated late in the game at 78 minutes after forward Never Tigere assisted Salum Abubakar to equalise for his team but they still drop 2 very crucial points.
Azam FC still holds 1st position with 9 games and 22 points, which is a close 3 points ahead of rivals Young Africans who have 19 points with two games in hand. Young Africans have won all their 5 previous matches and if they continue with this form, they will most probably snatch the top position from Azam FC.
As for now, 12th placed JKT, this was a result they accepted gladly. JKT head coach Abdallah Bares wished for nothing short of this as his side now move up to 12th position from 15th. They sail safely out of the relegation zone and hope Coastal Union FC and Mwadui who they beat 6-1 don’t win their next fixtures.
Azam FC will host 8th placed Dodoma FC in their next fixture on Thursday, November 5th, 2020, while JKT will travel to Namungo FC on Wednesday, November 4th, 2020.
In other matches of the day, Gwambina FC hosted KMC FC in a game the latter won by 3 goals to none. The first goal for KMC FC was scored by Lusajo Mwaikenda at 44 minutes followed by Reliants Lusajo at 88 minutes and the third goal two minutes later by David Brayson.
