Ditram Nchimbi scored the all important goal as Tanzania edged Zanzibar 1-0 to record their first win in the 2019 CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup on Tuesday evening at StarTimes Stadium, Lugogo.

On the 37th minute mark, Nchimbi netted the only goal of the contest to brighten the Taifa Stars chances of progressing to the last four of the competition.

Zanzibar were guilty for missing numerous scoring opportunities with Abbas Mudathiri Yahya, Mgwali Mwinyi and Hamis Abalkassim the culprits.

Tanzania’s Jonas Gerald Mkunde had a decent chance to double his side’s advantage but fire wide from close range.
