Tanzania Start 2022 CECAFA Women’s Championship Campaign With Victory Over South Sudan
Shime Bakari Nyundoa and her guns commenced their 2022 CECAFA Senior Women’s Championship campaign with a resounding victory over South Sudan.
Tanzania inflicted a hard faught 2-0 defeat on the Bright Starlets in their Group B opener at FUFA Technical Centre, Njeru on Thursday evening.
Goals from Skipper Amina Ally Bilali and Diana Lucas Msewa in either halves of the clash handed a perfect start of the campaign for Shime Bakari Nyundoa’s charges.
The opening minutes of the encounter looked balance with South Sudan showing composure and character but Tanzania managed to end the first stanza in a 1-0 lead.
Skipper Amina Ally Bilali snatched the lead for Tanzania on 39th minute of the match when her long range strike got goalkeeper Hassan off her line and despite catching the ball, it had already crossed the line and second assistant referee Alice Umutesi was in the right position to confirm to goal.
Diana Lucas Msewa doubled the score with a low strike at the farpost on the added time for a 2-0 win
