Africa-Press – Eswatini. In a exciting Hollywoodbet COSAFA encounter, Eswatini’s senior men’s team, Sihlangu, battled to a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Madagascar. The spotlight shone brightly on versatile midfielder/Wingback Kwakhe Thwala, who was deservedly named Man of the Match for his outstanding performance.
The match saw Madagascar take an early lead, putting Sihlangu on the back foot. However, the Eswatini side showed resilience and determination, staging a spirited comeback in the second half. The turning point came courtesy of junior Shisa Gesi Magagula, whose marvelous set-piece execution found the back of the net, salvaging a crucial point for the team.
Thwala, whose dynamic play across the midfield was instrumental throughout the game, humbly credited his teammates and coaching staff for his success. “Without the support of my teammates and the guidance from our coach, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve this Player of the Match honor,” said Thwala after the game. His ability to adapt to different roles on the pitch and his tireless work rate were key factors in keeping the team competitive against a strong Madagascar side.
Sihlangu’s resilience in this match reflects their growing stature in the COSAFA tournament, and with players like Thwala and Magagula stepping up, the team looks poised for a promising campaign ahead.
