Former Bendel Insurance defender, Benjamin Tanimu was on target and named Man of the Match as Singida Black Stars secured victory in their Tanzanian league fixture. The commanding centre-back found the back of the net and delivered a solid defensive display that earned him widespread praise from fans and pundits.
Tanimu has been outstanding since joining Singida Black Stars. The Nigerian defender quickly settled into the team and has become a key figure in the club’s backline. His consistency, composure on the ball, and leadership at the heart of defence have made him one of the standout performers in the league this season.
The defender’s ability to read the game and his aerial dominance have added significant value to Singida Black Stars. Coaches and teammates have commended his work rate, positioning, and the way he organizes the defence during matches. His contributions have helped the Tanzanian club maintain a strong defensive record.
With his current form, Tanimu is attracting attention beyond club football. Football analysts believe that if he sustains this level of performance, he may earn another call-up for national assignment with the Super Eagles. His versatility and experience are seen as assets that could strengthen Nigeria’s defensive options.
The Man of the Match award is the latest recognition of Tanimu’s impact since leaving Bendel Insurance. Supporters of Nigerian football will be hoping the defender continues his impressive run in Tanzania and pushes for a return to the national team setup.
