to secure a huge win in the first leg contest
Tanzania U-17
coach Bakari Shime has explained how they registered a massive 5-1 win against
Burundi in the 2020 women’s World Cup qualifying match on Sunday.
Tanzania started their campaign on the front foot,
mercilessly defeating Burundi in an interesting first leg clash held at the
60,000-capacity National Stadium in Dar es Salaam, with the reverse leg
expected on January 25 in Burundi.
Shime has said the long-term preparations prior to the
game enabled them to win with such a big margin.
“Honestly, the results we have recorded today
[Sunday] are the fruits of good preparations we have had as we want to attain
our objectives and is a positive start for us in this qualifying matches,”
Shime is quoted by Daily News.
Shime has lauded his players for successfully implementing
on the pitch all the game tactics he tasked them to do throughout the important
encounter.

went at the venue to watch Live the game, insisting that such good gesture was
an ingredient to their impressive performance.
Meanwhile, Aisha Masaka, who scored a hat-trick on the
day, says she was used to scoring having scored five trebles previously.
“I am used to scoring hat-tricks and it is not a new
thing for me. I am a striker and my task is to score goals,” Masaka said.
Her counterpart for Burundi, Daniella Nibhimenya,
conceded they were thoroughly outplayed.
“To let them score many goals was an indication they were
better than we but all is not lost as we have another second leg to play hence
an opportunity to turn things around,” she said.

Tanzania Women Football Association (TWFA) Amina Karuma, who said the
