Some smart, quick inter -passing with Mayibongwe \u2018Suarez\u2019 Mabuza put the midfielder through on goal and he made no mistake to put his team ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Hotspurs could have doubled their lead three minutes later when \u2018Suarez\u2019 and Sambulo \u2018Masoso\u2019 Simelane missed their chance.<\/p>\n<p>Next was Nyasha Chintuli who also squandered his chance after failing to get on the end of a clever setpiece from Thubelihle.<\/p>\n<p>The closing minutes of the first half saw Hotspurs try to double their advantage as Sea Birds held out until half time. The hub based side in the second half came back with guns blazing as skipper Muzi Tsabedze took a shot that was, however, dealt with by goalkeeper Sibusiso \u2018Baraba\u2019 Dlamini.<\/p>\n<p>Both sides made changes as the half progressed. Hotspurs\u2019 Suarez was againt denied after coming face-to-face with the goalkeeper.<\/p>\n<p>Sea Birds\u2019 Mthokozisi Gwebu had a half chance from a header in the 70th minute but he directed his effort over the bar.<\/p>\n<p>The closing minutes were a more balanced affair as both sides stepped up a gear. Sea Birds went down to 10 men in the 79th minute after Joseph Kibonge was shown a straight red for a dangerous high tackle on Ncamiso Thwala.<\/p>\n<p>Hotspurs protected their lead until the final whistle.<\/p>\n<p>This win marked a special day for Nsingizini Hotspurs\u2019 for President Derrick Shiba, who was turning a year older.<\/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.
