Jamus FC continued their impressive run at the 2026 CECAFA Kagame Cup after holding Tanzanian giants Simba SC to a hard-fought 0-0 draw in a Group B encounter at Kigali Pelé Stadium on Tuesday, July 28. The result strengthened the South Sudanese side's status as one of the tournament's surprise packages, extending their unbeaten start after a remarkable 2-0 victory over defending champions Singida Black Stars in their opening match. Simba entered the contest under pressure to secure their first win of the competition after being held to a goalless draw by Somalia's Mogadishu City Club in their tournament opener. Despite enjoying greater possession and creating several attacking opportunities, the Tanzanian giants once again struggled to find the finishing touch. Midfield maestro Clatous Chama orchestrated much of Simba's attacking play, but Jamus remained compact and disciplined throughout the contest to frustrate their opponents. The stalemate leaves Simba with two points from two matches, increasing the pressure on the Tanzanian powerhouse ahead of their decisive final group fixture. Jamus, meanwhile, moved to four points from two matches and maintained their position at the top of Group B. Singida revive qualification hopes Elsewhere in Group B, Singida Black Stars bounced back from their opening defeat with a convincing 4-1 victory over Mogadishu City Club earlier in the day. The win revived the defending champions' hopes of reaching the knockout stages. Mogadishu City made a promising start when Naby Bangora opened the scoring early in the match. Singida responded quickly, restoring parity in the 16th minute through Mathew Tegisi. The defending champions gradually took control and completed the turnaround five minutes before halftime when Henry David found the net to give Singida a 2-1 lead at the break. Singida continued to dominate after the restart, with Tegisi scoring his second goal of the afternoon in the 52nd minute to extend the advantage to 3-1. The Tanzanian side later added a fourth goal to complete an emphatic victory and secure their first points of the tournament. The result lifted Singida Black Stars to three points in Group B, keeping their qualification hopes alive ahead of a crucial showdown with Simba SC. Mogadishu City remain bottom of the group and face an uphill battle to progress ahead of their final Group B encounter against Jamus FC. With Jamus setting the pace and both Tanzanian giants still fighting for qualification, the final round of Group B fixtures promises plenty of drama as the teams battle for places in the knockout stage.
