It was the third defeat in a row for Kilimanjaro Stars after losing 1-0 to Zanzibar in their first game before losing to Harambee Stars 2-0 on Tuesday.
Tanzanian fans are angry after their team lost again
The defeat left a bitter taste in the mouths of Tanzanian fans, who wanted their team to do better. The squad assembled for the tournament was largely a random squad, with the big names of Simba and Yanga remaining with their clubs for the African Champions League matches.
@Joshua JM said,
“Here first let me laugh 😂😂😂! Even if you were talented, you were tied all the matches, without even scoring a single goal. Duh! This is now a shame, Yani without Simba and Yanga, the team is nothing 6 million people0+”
@Phina said,
“Because who do they play with every day they are imprisoned?”
@TheRealSakura said,
“If you really hear that Tanzanian football is in the mud now, all the matches the opponents have won with clean sheets”
Which team will qualify for the Revolution Cup final?
The result has made Burkina Faso reach seven points, so the hosts of West Africa have qualified for Monday's final. The four-team tournament is played in a round-robin format, with the two teams with the most points at the end qualifying for the finals.
Kenya tonight will have a chance to join Burkina Faso in the final if they avoid defeat against the hosts Zanzibar. Francis Kimanzi's boys have four points after drawing with Burkina Faso and beating Tanzania. Zanzibar has gone backwards.
Kimanzi is afraid about threats in Zanzibar
Kimanzi has already given a warning on his part towards the Zanzibar game.
“That will be the toughest match of all because we are facing the hosts, but we are getting better and better after each match. I know the environment will be different, but that will really excite our players.”
What time is the Kenya vs Zanzibar game?
The game will start at 7 PM EAT at the Gombani Pemba stadium.
Harambee Stars prospect speaks after controlling Salah
Djed Spence broke his silence on Instagram after showing a great line of defense against Mohamed Salah.
Spence came up against the in-form Egyptian when his Tottenham side faced off against Liverpool in the first leg of the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
Salah had an unusual night in front of goal as Lucas Bergvall scored four minutes from time to give Spurs the lead in the tie.
