Simba assistant captain Mohammed Hussein 'Zimbwe Jr' said the game against Yanga is like a final for them as they need all three points
Zimbwe Jr has said they need a win to restore hope in the championship race
"This is a big match, for the culture of Simba and Yanga, it is not a good thing for us to lose the game and let them announce the championship in front of us, so that motivates us to make sure we fight with sweat and blood to get three points"< /p>
"But the most important thing for us is that we are not looking for victory to prevent Yanga from winning the championship before us, but even we are in the race for the championship. If we do not win, we will reduce our position but victory will increase our position because we will reduce the points gap"
