MBABANE – Bulky striker Kwenzokuhle Khumalo was the hero after inspiring Green Mamba to a 3-2 win over newcomers Tinyosi.

Khumalo scored a brace in the first half with Sihlangu diminutive midfielder Njabulo Thwala scoring the winner in the last half to give Green Mamba all three points. The maximum points were the confidence booster for Caleb Ngwenya-led charges after suffering a humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of Mbabane Swallows in their last game on Easter Monday. Despite the win, Green Mamba remain on the ninth spot with seven points. This is after Denver Sundowns won 2-1, beating Malanti Chiefs at the same venue yesterday. Tinyosi on the other hand dropped one place from the sixth spot.
