Bocco nearly scored the third for Simba before the break, but his goal was ruled offside. The captain is currently the leading scorer with 15 goals, one more to Prince Dube of Azam FC.
Mugalu on his side, is also chasing the golden boot in his debut season in Tanzania Top flight after rising his tally to 13 goals, only two behind leading striker, Bocco. Morrison played a key role for the club in its bid of winning the trophy.
