Tenerife bound Shaban Iddi headed home Ramadhan Singano's corner kick to give Azam the lead in the 33rd minute.

However, in the 62nd Meddie Kagere latched on Said Hamisi's pass in the box to draw level.

But Azam regained the lead just after eight minutes through captain Agrey Morris's sensational free-kick strike, that flew past a hapless Simba goalkeeper Dida Munishi.

The pair have returned to their native country to speed up their recovery process.
