| Simba Queens, Yanga Princess No winner Benjamin Mkapa Stadium |
The traditional home match between Simba Queens and Yanga Princess has lost its leader after the teams raced each other within 90 minutes resulting in a 1-1 draw, the Women's Premier League game played at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium. The changes made by the coach of Simba Queens, Charles Lukula in the second half of removing Pambani Kuzoya and Koku Ally and bringing in Vivian Corazone and Asha Jafari helped the team to avoid defeat from their traditional hometown, Yanga Princess. Just a few minutes after entering, Corazone gave Simba Queens a goal and made the game end with a 1-1 draw. Yanga was the first to get a goal in the 45th minute through Wogu Chioma who scored a goal with a header finishing Wincate Kaali's corner and later Simba equalized in the 59th minute through Vivian who shot just outside the 18th and filled the net. This is the ninth match the teams have met with Simba winning six times, two draws and Yanga winning only once. Yanga beat Simba last season with a 1-0 goal scored by Clara Luvanga who is currently not in the squad. Opah Clement is the top scorer for Yanga every time they meet after scoring seven goals in six league matches and one in a friendly game. The record for scoring the most goals against Yanga Princess is still held by Mwanhamis Omari 'Gaucho' who plays professional football in Morocco, who while at Simba Queens has scored 10 goals against his hometown team. 2018/2019 Simba 7-1
