Yanga Dominate Muembe Makumbi to Reach Muungano Cup Semifinals

Defending champions Young Africans SC (Yanga) showcased their dominance by advancing to the Muungano Cup semifinals following a convincing 4-0 victory over Muembe Makumbi. The match was played at :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} in Zanzibar.

From the opening minutes, Yanga displayed clear intent to defend their title, controlling the game with authority and showing a significant gap in quality compared to their opponents.

Striker Prince Dube netted two crucial goals, while Shekhan Khamis added another, with the fourth coming from an own goal by Muembe Makumbi.
