Orapa Go Down Fighting

This was during the second leg tie of the Total Confederations Cup against Botswana’s Orapa United. Before a sizeable crowd, Swallows proved their invincibility when they orchestrated a dramatic comeback to advance to the first round. The history-making Umkhonto KaShaka as Swallows are also fondly known, sprang to a dramatic comeback against an animated Orapa to reach the first round for the first time in their CAF history.

The capital city giants did not play one of their best games, but still had the verve to brush aside a spirited Orapa United, winning by 3-2 in Saturday’s pulsating but tension-filled decider to progress 4-2 on aggregate.
