91 minutes: Angolan referee, Martins De Carvalho Helder blows to end the second encounter at Barbourfields stadium in Bulawayo with Swaziland, popularly known as Isihlangu winning the encounter by two goals to one. Mfantikile Dlamini awarded Man of the Match for the encounter. A deserved victory for Mashaba’s men, coming from a goal down to win the all-important three points that put them at the summit of Group B in the COSAFA tournament of 2009

78th minute: Swaziland coach, Ephrain “Shakes” Mashaba pulls out
Malugisa Dlamini and introduces Linazi Maziya to consolidate his
team’s hard fought lead while his counterpart, Richard Holmund, of
Seychelles pulls out the scorer, Nelson Laurence for Hubert Ernesta

Mfanzile Dlamini makes it two-one for Swaziland with a blistering shot
inside the penalty box that Esther could not save.

Swaziland’s hard work finally pays off in the 72nd minute as Mathokoza Thwala heads home.

53 minutes: Seychelles goalkeeper, Collin Esther makes brilliant save
after Swaziland’s Mfanzile Dlamini let fly a scorcher that could have
put the two sides at par. Dlamini received the ball about 20 metres
from Esther’s goal line, picked up a spot and let fly a stinger of a
shot that Esther had o choice but to punch to safety.

He however got the second bite of the cherry on time before Dlamini
could get to bury the goal for his side.

48 minutes: Second half kicks off at a blisterimg pace with Swaziland
forcing two corner kicks inside two minutes. They are under pressure
to level the spoils or face the possibility of ancoring the Group B
standings alongside the likes of Botswana and Comoros.

On the other hand, Seychelles defend the solitary strike in the sixth
minute by Laurence.

At half time, it stands: Swaziland..........0 Seychelles .........1

39 minutes: Ronny Marengo (Seychelles) and Sifiso Dlamini (Swaziland) lie injured on the pitch after having collided against each other in an effort to take possession of the ball.

33 minutes: Swaziland coach, Ephraim “Shakes” Mashaba pulls out Mfantikile Ndzimande and introduces his brother Mziwandile Ndzimande in an effort to bolster his charges’ midfield which has been in sixes and sevens since the start of the match.

With 25 minutes of the Swaziland/ Seychelles match played, the hosts
(Swaziland) appear to be struggling as compared to their opponents.
Most passes they try to make have gone astray as they appear not to
have the necessary cohesion and strategy that is required to win a
match.

Seychelles is hoping to capitalize on counter attacks that will come
out of the failure by the Swaziland team to knit together passes. So
far, Seychelles appear to have an upper hand over the hists although
they have been lucky to score in the sixth minute of the game.

Seychelles surges ahead six minutes into the match through Nelson Laurence.
