The win moved the Islanders to the top of Group ‘A’ with six points, two ahead of Kenya whom they face tomorrow at the same venue. Zanzibar had beaten Rwanda 3-1 in their opening Group ‘A’ game and claimed a hard fought 2-1 win over neighbours Tanzania to go top of the group with six points. Ahmada then tapped in ball to hand Zanzibar the second goal of the day which also served their main land brothers with bitterness and a loss too. The loss by Taifa Stars left them fourth in a five-member group with a point and risk to edged out of the tournament at group level. They play Rwanda on tomorrow before renewing their rivalry with Kenya on Monday to wrap up their Group ‘A’ fixtures.
