Simba’s hopes of advancing in the African Champions League went up in smoke after losing 3-2 to reigning champions DR Congo’s TP Mazembe in the return leg fixture at the National Stadium yesterday.<\/p>\n

The home side tumbled 3-1 in Lubumbashi a fortnight ago, thus needing at least two clear goals to send the Congolese outfit packing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Simba started the match briskly, sending a series of shock waves to TP Mazembe goal, but found themselves trailing in the 17th minute when Patou Kabangu opened the scoring.<\/p>\n

Despite being pegged back early, the Msimbazi Street team refusedto back down, and midway through the first half Mussa Mgosi unleashed a ferocious drive that, however, was saved daringly by the TP Mazembe shot stopper.<\/p>\n

TP Mazembe, the 2010 FIFA World Club Cup finalists, kept on enjoying a lion’s share of possession heading to the breather, but could not change the score sheet.After the recess, Simba looked the better side and missed a host of chances with Mgosi and Mbwana Samata being the culprits.<\/p>\n

However, their determination paid off on the hour mark when TP Mazembe defender Pamhild Mihayo scored an own goal when attempting to make a clearance.Even before Simba celebrations had died down, TP Mazembe were on target again when Allain Kaluyikuta’s shot left goalie Juma Kaseja with no chance.<\/p>\n

The visitors thought the match was done and dusted, but gutsy Simba equalisedin the 66thminute through Samata who was a thorn to TP Mazembe defenders.The Congolese giants, whodemonstrated why they are the champions, capitalised on every defensive blunder andsealed the victory through Kalutiya with 17 minutes left.<\/p>\n

TP Mazembe advanced to the next round on 6-3 aggregate.<\/p>\n

Line up:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simba: Juma Kaseja, Salum Kanoni, Amir Maftah, Kelvin Yondani, Juma Nyoso, Jerry Santo, Mussa Mgosi, Patrick Ochan, Emmanuel Okwi, Mbwana Samata, Juma Jabu.<\/p>\n

TP Mazembe: Robert Kadiaba, Pamphile Mihayo, Jean Kasusula, Benza Bedi, Rainford Kalaba, Eric Nkulukuta, Patou Kabangu, Narcisse Ekanga, Allain Kaluyikuta, Stopila Sunzu, Deo Kanda<\/p>\n
