Indomitable Lions forward, Leonel Ateba Mbida scored his second official goal for Simba in their 2-all tie against Coastal Union.

Captain Mohamed Hussein scored the first goal in the 25th minute after Joshua Mutale’s ball rebounded from goalkeeper Ley Matampi.

Striker Leonel Ateba gave Simba the second goal with a penalty kick after a Coastal Union defender caught the ball within 18 yards. Ateba stepped up to make it 2-0.

However, the visitors found a route back to level terms. Abdallah’s 47th minute strike started the comeback.

Simba finally relinquished their lead courtesy a Hernest Malonga equalizer in the 72nd minute following goalkeeper Camara’s schoolboy outing.
