Swaziland national team: vows to upset Super Eagles in Port Harcourt


The Senior National Team of Swaziland, nicknamed Sihlangu Somnikati, are hoping to create an unprecedented upset in African soccer when they meet the Nigerian team on Tuesday in Port Harcourt.

Coach of the Swaziland team said his wards will go on the offensive referee Jackson Pavaza’s whistle sounds for kick –off in the second leg of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

Sihlangu’s Coach, Harries Bulunga, sounded in a manner to send jitters to the Nigerian camp: “We held our own very well in the first leg and we will go for broke on Tuesday.”

Eagles Coach Sunday Oliseh, however, has expressed confidence in his boys to “do the job on Tuesday and get us into the group stage.”

Both teams finished the opening leg scoreless as the Sihlangu stifled the Eagles on the artificial turf of the poorly –lit Somhlolo National Stadium in Lobamba.

Bulunga will depend largely on the speed of team captain Tony Tsabedze on the counter, as well as footworks of Siyabonga Mdluli, Mthunzi Mkhontfo, Mcolisi Lukhele, Felix Badenhorst, Saneliso Dlamini, Menzi Sithole and Sabelo Ndzinisa.
