Eswatini suffered a 1-0 loss against Libya in their opening World Cup Group D qualifying match last weekend.

Eswatini dominated possession and shots during the first half, but their finishing let them down.

Libya took the lead eight minutes into the second half before Eswatini made four tactical changes; however, they could not find an equalising goal.

Eswatini had 63% possession and ten shots in the match, with two attempts on target.

Sihlangu Semnikati have drawn three of their last seven fixtures (excluding the COSAFA Cup), including four losses. They have scored one goal and conceded six.
