It was the forever electrifying atmosphere at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam in the Community Shield encounter between rivals Young Africans SC and Simba SC on Thursday.
Beyond that, was the intriguing interest from Uganda with compatriots Steven Mukwala and Khalid Aucho in action.
Uganda Cranes forward Mukwala joined Simba in the ongoing transfer window from Ghanaian side Asante Kotoko.
It was time to meet his national team captain Aucho for the first time in the fierce Kariaako Derby
Aucho came out victorious thanks to a 1-0 victory through a brilliant team-play goal finished off by Maxi Mpia Nzengeli at the stroke of halftime.
It was a sweeter result for Aucho who was also celebrating his 31st birthday on the same day.
After a narrow win over their rivals in the semifinals, Yanga will meet Azam in the final. Azam defeated Ugandan Gift Ali’s Coastal Union 5-2 earlier on in the day.
