But drama unfolded with 20 minutes to go when one of the players got seriously injured. The match referee was forced to call an ambulance to take the player to a hospital due to the nature of the injury. 

Much to the surprise of everyone at the Prince of Wales Stadium, the ambulance was not moving.

Meanwhile, still in Eswatini, South African-born coach Solly Luvhengo started his stint at Mbabane Highlanders on a good note. Luvhengo took charge of the Eswatini giants during their 3-2 win against defending champions Royal Leopards at Mavuso Sports Centre on Sunday.

The club recently appointed the former Amajita coach. 

“We are working very well together. The boys are fighting. They have received me very well and helped me a lot with the leadership of the Chairman, Chief Ally.

“That’s why you see the players with good energy. They work for each other, and they press high. We are not there yet in terms of how we want to play, but the energy is there, the willingness is there, and the teamwork is there,” he said. 

“For me, as a start, we are happy with the result and the performance.”
