Ghana forward Augustine Okrah nets as Simba draw against Young Africans in Kariakoo Derby

Ghana forward Augustine Okrah was on target for Simba SC in their 1-1 draw against archrivals Young Africans SC in the Kariakoo Derby on Sunday.

The 29-year-old put up an impressive display as his side sealed a point in the Tanzanian Premier League at the Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Sunday.

Okrah gave the visitors the lead in the 16th minute of the game after he was played through by Zambia international Clatous Chota Chama to make it 1-0.

But Burkina Faso player Stephane Aziz Ki scored on the stroke of halftime to draw Young Africans level.

The former Ghana Premier League top scorer has scored two goals and provided one assist for Simba SC in the Tanzanian Premier League this season.

Okrah joined Simba in July after a successful season with Bechem in the Ghanaian top-flight and the FA Cup and has been one of the consistent players for the club.

He is likely to be named in Ghana’s squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
