Galaxy bemoan Simba hospitality

The local champions were in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, over the weekend and were hammered 6-0 by Simba in the tie played at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Galaxy Stars were desperate for a win in order to have a chance to advance into the final eight of the competition for the first time in club's and local football history.

The tie was also an exciting one as the fans in Tanzania were eager to get revenge over the local side as Galaxy had eliminated Simba two years back. Reports arose in East Africa that Galaxy were trying under-hand tricks ahead of the tie. The local side were accused of tiptoeing into Tanzania while also being blamed for not alerting their opponents and hosts of their lodging and traveling.
