ESWATINI HOSTS SUCCESSFUL TRI-NATIONS MATCHES
The Eswatini Football Association (EFA) successfully hosted Tri-Nations matches over the weekend, welcoming Lesotho and Mozambique for competitive fixtures involving both the Senior Women’s National Teams and the U20 Men’s National Teams from the three participating nations.
These matches were held from Saturday to Sunday, aimed at providing players valuable international exposure and preparation ahead of next year’s official international competitions.
Saturday’s action at Somhlolo National Stadium began with Sitsebe SaMhlekazi playing to a 1-1 draw against Lesotho. After trailing at halftime, Sitsebe dominated the second half and deservedly found the equalizer in a tightly contested match.
Eswatini’s U20 Men’s National Team then faced Mozambique in an impressive display, winning 2-0 by scoring in both halves and controlling the match throughout. Later, they played their second game of the day against Lesotho. Despite a determined fight from Eswatini, Lesotho claimed a 2-0 victory.
On Sunday, there was more action at the EFA Lobamba Technical Centre, where Sitsebe played against a fast and dominant Mozambican Senior Women’s National Team. Although Eswatini created several chances and enjoyed more possession, Mozambique won the match 1-0.
