46 minutes: Referee Rajindraparsard blows to end the first half with both sides tied at nil-all. A dicey match so far for Botswana as they are under pressure to score goals. Their strikers seem to be suffering from fatigue while on the other end, Swaziland makes efforts to break
the Botswana defence but to no avail.

42 minutes: Swaziland’s Mzwandile Ndzimande’s header misses right upright post with a few inches despite being under challenge.

as he tries to connect from a corner kick by his teammate Mokgati
Mokgathi.
