The hosts will keep their fingers crossed for a narrow Swaziland victory, which will give them a ticket to the  semi-finals. The Young Zebras are now joint top with Zimbabwe with three points. The Young Warriors beat Botswana 3-0 in the opening match on Friday.

Two goals by Lesego Tafa and another from Kaelo Kgaswane were enough to seal victory for the local side. Tafa outpaced the Swazi defence in the 10th minute after being released by Kabo Rasuping to score the opener.
