Mtibwa 2-1 SC Villa

SPORTS Club Villa’s troubled season took a turn for the worse when they were beaten 2-1 by Tanzanian side Mtibwa in a Tusker Challenge Cup match played in Mwanza last evening.

Steven Bengo scored Villa’s goal on 85 minutes after the Tanzanians had sneaked into a 2-0 lead. Half time score was 1-0 for Mtibwa.
The loss means that Villa, which drew 0-0 with Young Africans (Yanga) in their opening fixture, are only left with a slim mathematical chance of progressing.
Villa have already completed their fixtures whereas Mtibwa, which leads Group 3 with a maximum three points still has a game to play against Yanga.

The Ugandans can only progess if Mtibwa Sugar beats Yanga by two clear goals. The latter only need a draw to progress to the lucrative stages of the tournament. Villa has not won any worthy silverware for three years.
