The result sees Simba move to 34 points, now sitting four points behind league leaders Young Africans SC in the title race.
Simba approached the match with clear intent, taking control of possession early and dictating the tempo of the game.
Their structure allowed them to remain compact while still posing an attacking threat whenever opportunities arose.
Coastal Union attempted to build from the back, but Simba’s organisation made it difficult for them to progress effectively.
A well-drilled midblock from Simba ensured that central passing lanes were closed, limiting Coastal’s creativity.
As pressure mounted, Coastal were forced into long balls, which were comfortably dealt with by Simba’s defence.
Simba’s high pressing further disrupted Coastal’s rhythm, forcing errors in dangerous areas of the pitch.
In midfield, Simba showed superiority, controlling transitions and maintaining composure throughout.
Anicet Oura stood out with his strength on the ball and ability to win individual duels.
Alongside him, Clatous Chama and Maema played key roles in linking play and driving the team forward.
The breakthrough came through Seleman Mwalimu, who finished clinically after a well-worked attacking move.
That goal gave Simba greater confidence as they continued to apply pressure on their opponents.
Their use of width became more evident, with full-backs pushing forward to support attacking plays. The second goal was scored by Toure, who showed great composure to seal the victory.
Overall, it was a disciplined and tactically sound performance from Simba, underlining their determination to stay firmly in the title race.
