Singida Black Stars continued their impressive form in the Premier League with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over KMC FC at CCM Liti Stadium last week.

This win marks their third consecutive triumph in the league, propelling them to the top of the table with a perfect nine points from three matches. The match saw Josephat Bada open the scoring for Singida Black Stars in the 40th minute, followed by a second-half goal from Elvis Rupia.

KMC FC managed to pull one back, but it wasn’t enough to stop Singida Black Stars from securing the three points. The victory places them above second-placed Simba SC, who have six points from two matches.

Head coach Patrick Aussems was pleased with his team’s performance but emphasised the need for further improvement. “Since the start of the pre-season, we have worked a lot, and today we see the results of our efforts,” Aussems said after the match as quoted by the Guardian.

“We faced a quality team, and the match was quite open. However, I’m disappointed with the last 20-25 minutes after scoring the second goal. We relaxed too much, choosing to defend rather than pushing for a third goal.

“We need to be more solid and efficient. We conceded a goal, so we must work on our defense. We also had several opportunities to score more and need to be better in both attack and defense.”

Singida Black Stars have started the 2024/25 Premier League season in excellent form.

In their opening match, they secured a 3-1 victory against Ken Gold at Sokoine Mbeya Stadium, followed by a 1-0 win at Kaitaba Stadium against Kagera Sugar, before their latest triumph against KMC FC.
