KINONDONI, Tanzania (Interstat) — Substitute Iddy Nado scored two second-half goals in a nine-minute span to lead azam FC to a 2-0 victory over Kinondoni Municipal Council FC in a Ligi kuu Bara match Sunday at KMC Stadium.

The match, played Feb. 22, 2026, was a tale of two halves, with the visiting azam FC breaking through after a tactical change. The first half saw few clear chances for either side, with azam FC controlling possession but struggling to break down a determined Kinondoni Municipal Council FC defense.

The dynamic shifted shortly after the halftime interval. azam FC midfielder Suleiman Kidawa received a yellow card in the 55th minute, but it did not deter his influence. Just a minute later, he provided the crucial assist, setting up Nado for the opening goal. Nado, who had entered the match as a substitute, doubled his tally and sealed the result in the 65th minute, capitalizing on azam FC’s sustained pressure to put the game out of reach.

The victory solidifies azam FC’s strong position in the domestic league. They now hold a record of five wins, four draws and zero losses in Ligi kuu Bara competition this season. Their form across all competitions is even more impressive, standing at 10 wins, four draws and only three losses. The win also served as a swift rebound from their previous outing, a 2-0 loss to Wydad Athletic on Feb. 15.

For the home side, Kinondoni Municipal Council FC, the loss extends a difficult campaign. Their league record fell to two wins, three draws and 11 losses following the defeat. Their overall record across all competitions is identical, highlighting a season of struggle. The team has now lost three of its last five matches and has been shut out in eight of its sixteen league games.

The match statistics underscored azam FC’s dominance, with the two-goal margin reflecting their efficiency in front of goal once the deadlock was broken. Kinondoni Municipal Council FC offered little in response after conceding the first goal, as azam FC professionally managed the match to its conclusion.

azam FC will have little time to rest, as their schedule demands a quick turnaround. They are set to face Tanzania Prisons on Monday, Feb. 23, in their next Ligi kuu Bara fixture, followed by a match against Mashujaa FC on March 1. Their upcoming slate includes challenging road matches against Mbeya City, TRA United SC and a major clash at Young Africans SC in May.

Kinondoni Municipal Council FC will look to regroup during a longer break before attempting to find a path to better results. Their next match is not until Thursday, March 5, when they travel to face Singida Black Stars. They will then host Tanzania Prisons on March 12 before another road test at Mbeya City on March 15.
