Eswatini 0-5 South Africa: Mthandi and Salgado help Banyana silence Super Falcons

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 Nonhlanhla Mthandi opened the scoring for Desiree Ellis' side after just three minutes.
