Swaziland goalkeeper Nhlanhla Gwebu put up a fantastic performance as his side battled to a goalless draw with Botswana in the COSAFA Cup Group B opener at Kitwe’s Arthur Davies Stadium on Sunday.
Gwebu put up several brilliant saves in both halves to deny Botswana a win in the match characterised by poor finishing.
Both sides were cautious in the first half as they created few scoring opportunities in the match watched by a sizeable crowd at Arthur Davies.
Botswana could have taken an early lead had Moamedi Moatihaping not headed over the bar in the third minute.
Swaziland dictated play in the second half after their opponents dominated the first half.
Swaziland and Botswana enjoyed massive support from Kitwe fans despite failing to produce goals.
The two teams are now tied at the top of Group B with a point each just 24 hours before their pool rivals Kenya and Lesotho clash at the same venue.
