Mabuza was too good on the right delivering balls inside the box. Moments later Mopina eventually scored the opener 15 minutes into the game.<\/p>\n<p>Mabuza then hit the ball straight into Sea Birds goalkeeper Bafana Ngwenya&#8217;s hands and Mopina scored from the rebound. Sea Birds\u2019 Gcinizwi Dlamini defended well to stop what looked like a clear chance for the Terisayi Changara-led side in the 19th minute. Wanderers continued pressing hard even in the final third of the first half, holding on to the lead at half time with the score at 1-0.<\/p>\n<p>Sea Birds leveled matters in the 66th minute through captain Muzi Tsabedze who equalised with a header from Mthokozisi Gwebu\u2019s free kick. The Christian Thwala led side came back and took full control of the game as Tsabedze doubled the tally and made it 2-1 in the 77th minute with a clinical finish.<\/p>\n<p>After extending the lead, it was all Sea Birds\u2019 show as they continued attacking Wanderers hard. Former Tinyosi winger Njabulo &#8216;Koko&#8217; Gama delivered a cross to ensure winger Phathizwe Mabuza finished it off to make it two-all. That proved to be the last bit of action of the day as the match ended with Wanderers collecting their first points after six matches.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
