Simba SC moved closer to the CAF Champions League group stage after thrashing Equatorial Guinea’s 15 de Agosto 6-1 in the first leg of their second-round tie at the Uhuru Stadium on October 21, 2026.

15 de Agosto managed a consolation goal through Alozie Uwandu in the first minute of added time, but the late strike did little to change the outcome.
The final whistle confirmed a 6-1 victory for Simba, leaving the Dar es Salaam-based club in a strong position to secure qualification for the group stage.
Simba will now look to complete the job in the return leg on October 25, when they host the Equatorial Guinean side again at the Uhuru Stadium.
