Young Africans coach Mwinyi Zahera was left crestfallen when his team succumbed to a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Ruvu Shooting.
Striker Sadat Mohamed scored the only goal for Ruvu in the 21st minute to give the army side their first win in 19 Mainland Premier League matches against Yanga.
Mohamed cleverly beat defender Kelvin Yondani to unleash a sizzling shot that gave goalkeeper Farouk Shikalo no chance at the Uhuru Stadium.
Yanga, needing a win to launch their league campaign with a bang, made a bright start but had trouble in breaking down the army team’s defence.
They fluffed a number of chances early in the first half, the culprits being strikers David Molinga, Juma Balinga, Urikhob Sadney and midfielder Papy Tshishimbi.
Eight minutes to time, Tshishimbi’s shot was parried off by goalkeeper Bidii Hussen for an abortive corner.
