Yanga made a strong start in the CRDB Cup Round of 64 with a 2–0 victory over Cosmopolitan in a match played at the KMC Complex.
Winger Buba Jammeh was the difference-maker, scoring both of Yanga’s goals early in the first half to give Cosmopolitan a tough evening.
It was a two-half contest in which Yanga played at a high tempo and created numerous chances in the first half. However, the Citizens slowed down in the second half, causing the intensity of the match to drop.
Yanga head coach Pedro Goncalves rotated his squad, resting several players who have featured heavily this season while giving opportunities to other members of the team.
With the win, Yanga advance to the Round of 32, joining other teams that have qualified for the next stage of the competition.
