Eswatini 0-5 South Africa: Kgoale and Salgado help Banyana silence Sitsebe

South Africa continued their fine start in the Cosafa Women's Cup with a 5-0 victory over Eswatini on Friday.

Banyana Banyana came into the contest on the back of Tuesday's 2-0 win against Angola thanks to strikes from Lonathemba Mhlongo and Karabo Dhlamini at the Wolfson Stadium.

On Friday, the hosts gained an early lead when Nomvula Kgoale opened the scoring for Desiree Ellis' side after just three minutes.

Banyana maintained their pouring attack against Bongumusa Mdluli's side and Sibulele Holweni doubled the lead seven minutes from the half-time break.

On return from recess, Ellis' team continued from where they left off as Gabriela Salgado extended the lead two minutes after the restart.

On the hour mark, Kgoale bagged her second of the match to increase the tally for South Africa before Salgado struck from a late free-kick to complete the rout.

The win puts South Africa on the brink of a semi-final berth and moves them to the top of the log in Group A, with six points from two ties. 

Banyana will now seek to complete their group stage campaign on a high when they face familiar foe Comoros on November 9.

In the other result in Group A, Comoros were held to a 1-1 draw by Angola earlier at the same venue in Nelson Mandela Bay.
