Tigers bench had Chikaiko Bridge as the care taker coach following the absence of head coach Franco Ndawa, who is in Tanzania with the national team.
The Kau-Kau boys in the first 45 minutes missed a lot of many scoring opportunities.
Come second half, Red Lions accelerated the gear as they displayed a brilliant performance and it was not surprising when they scored a winning goal.
After securing the winning goal, Red Lions defence were unwaveringly stubborn thereby frustrating Tigers up to the last whistle.
Red Lions coach Billy Phambala said he was delighted to have collected full points and vowed to soldier on.
“I am very happy because my boys worked hard even after Tigers equalized. All what we wanted was to collect points,” he said.
Azam Tigers assistant coach Chikaiko Bridge was upset with the loss.
