Selemani Mwalimu broke the deadlock in the 19th minute with his goal, continuing his impressive form since joining from Wydad Athletic Club. De Reuck doubled the lead from the penalty spot just before halftime, ensuring Simba's victory.
The result sees Simba climb to fourth position with 22 points from nine matches. Remarkably, Barker's men have seven games in hand over league leaders JKT Tanzania. De Reuck, who joined in July 2025 after leaving Mamelodi Sundowns, has now scored three goals in 18 appearances and is reportedly close to signing a new contract. Simba will return to action with a match against third-placed Pamba Jiji on Wednesday.
