CHAN 2024 – Group B: Veteran Kapombe sends Tanzania to the top

For their second outing at CHAN 2024, Tanzania waited until the final minute of regulation time to overcome a solid and well-organized Mauritanian side.

It was Shomari Kapombe, the veteran and defensive mainstay of Simba SC, who delivered the breakthrough for the Taifa Stars by scoring the only goal of the match. Just when it seemed destined for a goalless draw, the right-back pounced like a true poacher to slot the ball into the back of the net, sealing a victory of immense value.

At 34, he once again proved his experience is invaluable in decisive moments. His goal allows Tanzania, co-hosts of the tournament, to retain top spot in Group B with six points from two matches.
