JKT Tanzania’s Man of the Match, Wilson Nangu, discussed the successful defensive tactics that allowed his team to draw with defending champions Young Africans (Yanga) at the Major General Isamuhyo Stadium. The match ended in a 0-0 tie, marking a rare occasion for Yanga, who had scored consistently in prior matches under coach Sead Ramovic.
Nangu emphasized the importance of teamwork in their defense, stating that players were trained to cover spaces left open when one teammate engaged in a tackle. This strategy, as noted by Nangu, was critical in neutralizing the threats posed by Yanga’s prolific scorers, Clement Mzize and Prince Dube.
Coach instructions encouraged a strong home performance, prompting the players to fight for points. JKT Tanzania has remained unbeaten at home, recording three wins and five draws this season, thereby solidifying their defense with seven goals conceded and six clean sheets across eight home matches.

Looking ahead, JKT Tanzania will play against Singida Black Stars, who are seeking recovery following a recent loss to KMC. The home side, with an unblemished record at their stadium, aims to secure all three points to improve their position in the league.
JKT Tanzania showcased a robust defensive strategy against Young Africans, with Wilson Nangu highlighting effective communication and teamwork in their approach. With a strong home record this season and a solid draw against Yanga, the team aims to continue their progress. However, improvements are needed in their away performances as they prepare for upcoming matches.
