Simba accuse Galaxy ahead of crunch tie

Galaxy will take on Simba in a must-win tie at the Azam Complex on Saturday afternoon to proceed to the last eight of the competition.

With just four points, Galaxy require a win over Simba to secure seven points and a quarterfinal spot, given Wydad Athletic Club's loss to the already-qualified ASEC Mimosas. In preparations for the crunch tie, the local side departed Botswana on Tuesday and arrived in Dar Es Salaam in the wee hours of Wednesday after more than 12 hours of travelling. Reports from East Africa claim that the team has tiptoed into Tanzania without informing their hosts of their travel schedule. Galaxy are said to have booked two hotels in an attempt to 'trick' their weekend's opponents.
