Mozambique had 46% possession and six shots in the match, with four attempts on target.

The Mambas have recorded one victory in their last five COSAFA Cup fixtures, including two losses and two draws. They scored four goals and conceded four.

Eswatini created the most chances to score in both halves, but they failed to breach the defence of Botswana, settling for the share of the spoils.
