De Reuck Powers Simba to Victory

South African defender Rushine De Reuck scored from the penalty spot as Simba SC secured a 2-0 win over Tanzania Prisons in the NBC Tanzanian Premier League.

Selemani Mwalimu opened the scoring in the 19th minute before De Reuck doubled the lead just before halftime. The victory lifts Simba to fourth place in the standings with 22 points from nine matches, though they have seven games in hand over leaders JKT Tanzania.

De Reuck has now scored three goals in 18 appearances since joining Simba in July 2025 from Mamelodi Sundowns, with reports suggesting the 30-year-old is close to signing a new contract with the club.
