Defending NBC Premier League champions Yanga have strengthened their position at the top of the league table after defeating Coastal Union 3-0 in a match played at KMC Complex.
Wananchi showed their determination to secure all three points early in the game, with Allan Okello scoring the opening goal in the 18th minute after finishing off a fine move from Prince Dube.
Despite conceding an early goal, Coastal Union managed to withstand Yanga’s pressure and went into halftime trailing 1-0.
In the second half, Yanga returned with greater intensity in search of a second goal, while Coastal Union also pushed forward looking for an equalizer.
However, it was Yanga who doubled their lead through Okello once again in the 62nd minute, firing a powerful shot after connecting with a cross from Pacome.
The third goal was scored by Maxi Nzengeli in the 75th minute from a pass by Okello, who was later named Man of the Match after being involved in all three goals.
The victory takes Yanga to 54 points at the top of the league table, opening an eight-point gap.
In addition, Yanga have now scored 50 goals this season while conceding only five.
