Match Info

Eswatini pulled off a stunning 3-0 away victory over Zimbabwe in a CAF African Nations Championship qualifier on Sunday, October 27, 2024. The comprehensive result was a major upset and placed Eswatini in a dominant position to qualify for the next round at the expense of their more fancied rivals. Zimbabwe, expected to win at home, were left shell-shocked as Eswatini scored an early goal to silence the crowd. The visitors added a second before the break, capitalizing on defensive errors, and sealed a famous win with a third goal in the second half. Zimbabwe's frustration boiled over, resulting in a red card for a reckless challenge that summed up their dismal afternoon. The standout performance came from Eswatini's forward line, which was clinical with every chance presented to them. This massive away win meant Eswatini could approach the second leg at home with a huge cushion, while Zimbabwe faced a near-impossible task to overturn the deficit. The Eswatini manager called it a historic result for the nation, while the Zimbabwe coach apologized to the fans for an unacceptable performance.
