Ghanaian international Augustine Okrah has replicated his explosive preseason form into the new season after scoring on his league debut for Simba SC earlier today.
The 29 year old was on target to propel the Lions to a resounding 3-0 victory over Geita Gold FC at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in their opening fixture of the 2022/23 NBC Premier League season.
The ex- Bechem United star took only 36 minutes to announce his presence and also hand his side the lead after scoring from a kick outside the box. He went for a ground effort of which the goalkeeper failed to deal with properly.
Two other second half goals from Zambian duo Moses Phiri and Cletous Chota Chama sealed the victory in the end for the Reds.
Augustine Okrah joined them right after last season and hoping to establish himself as one of the fans favourite in Darees Salam as he look to double up his effort for more in their subsequent matches.
Simba SC will host Kagera Sugar in their next league game on Saturday, August 27, 2022.
