The 3rd place play offs between Eswatini and Mozambique played at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium ended with a 1 all draw at regulation time and went into penalties.
Mozambique took the lead when Thauzene scored in the 39th minute. The Mambas sailed through the 2nd half without conceding until Mkhontfo of Eswatini equalised a minute before Full Time.
“We knew it was going to be a tough one playing against Mozambique. They always play in high intensity with aggregation. In the first half, we made the game difficult for ourselves. We created a lot of scoring opportunities but we could not convert. In Football, you get punished if you cannot convert.” – Eswatini Coach, Dominic Kunene. “In the second half we had to come up with a different approach and get the equaliser” he added.
Eswatini won 4:2 on penalties to get the third place Broze medal.
