Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Mighty Warriors secured a 3-1 win over Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) in an African Women Cup of Nations qualifier played at the National Sports Stadium on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Merjury Nyaumwe, Privilege Mupeti and Emmaculate Msipa scored for the home side while Eswatini got their consolation from Lesego Mokgale with all the four goals coming in the first half.<\/p>\n

Mighty Warriors coach Sithethelelwe Sibanda was impressed with the overall performance of her charges but pointed out areas that need improvement. She said:<\/p>\n

Of course, I am disappointed with how we conceded but I am confident we will carry ourselves through the line.<\/p>\n

We played very well, our ball circulation was up there and we could have won with a bigger margin still.<\/p>\n

But, I think we don\u2019t have to worry much, we have the advantage and we will implement some good strategies going into the next match.<\/p>\n

Her Eswatini counterpart Dumisani Makhanya expressed confidence that his team can still overturn the deficit. He said:<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Zimbabwe for winning the first leg. They played so well but we remain positive ahead of the return leg.<\/p>\n

Obviously, it\u2019s not going to be any easier but look, we showed some good signs in this match and we can do better at home.<\/p>\n
