Tanzanian giants Yanga SC came from a goal down to pick a 1-1 draw against visiting Township Rollers of Botswana in the Caf Champions League on Saturday.
The Mwinyi Zahera's charges have not had the best preparation, and it took them just seven minutes to realise that.
Shaky defending allowed Phenyo Serameng into the danger zone, and he did not waste the opportunity of silencing the home fans.
Yanga fought for an equalizer, but it never came in the first half as the strikers failed to capitalise on the created chances.
It was quiet and nervy at the stands, as the home team seemingly headed for a defeat. With about five minutes to go, the ambience changed when the home team was awarded a penalty.
