Yanga SC continued their strong start to the NBC Tanzania Premier League campaign after securing a 3-1 victory over Namungo FC at Majaliwa Stadium in Lindi on August 15, 2026.
The defending champions endured a tightly contested first half, with neither side able to convert the opportunities created in front of goal as the opening 45 minutes ended goalless.
Yanga eventually broke the deadlock in the 68th minute when Chadrack Boka scored to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.
The Jangwani-based side quickly extended their advantage four minutes later, with Maxi Nzengeli finding the net in the 72nd minute to put Yanga firmly in control of the contest.
Namungo refused to give up and were rewarded for their efforts in the 76th minute when Herbert Lukindo pulled one back for the hosts, raising hopes of a late comeback.
However, Yanga remained composed and sealed the three points in the 89th minute when Peter Shalulile scored the team's third goal.
The 3-1 win gave Yanga maximum points from a difficult away fixture, while Namungo were left to reflect on a match in which their second-half response ultimately fell short.
