Tabora United stun Pamba in PL match

TABORA: TABORA United picked their third win of the season after stamping a 1-0 triumph over Pamba Jiji at Ali Hassan Mwinyi Stadium in Tabora on Wednesday.

The success drove them to seventh place on the log courtesy of 11 points from nine games as they slowly climb up the league ladder.

Ogochukwu Morice made the difference in the 77th minute of the game through a penalty to enable his side walk away with essential points from home, turf as efforts by the visitors to make the most of the match were unsuccessful.

On the other hand, Pamba Jiji winless run of the season continues as they are the only league team yet to taste victory from 9 played league games.

They remain 15th on the league log after six draws and three defeats in the process, not a good ride for the Mwanza based outfits. Meanwhile, Coastal Union yesterday named a veteran coach, Juma Mwambusi as the team’s new head coach who has replaced David Ouma.
