Swaziland advance past Djibouti to set up Nigeria tie

Swaziland advanced to the second round of Africa's World Cup qualifying with a 2-1 win over Djibouti on Saturday.

Sandile Hlatjwako scored twice in the first half for Swaziland, who move on to face Nigeria after seeing off Djibouti 8-1 on aggregate. 

After Hlatjwako's opener, Mohamed Issa Liban equalised for the visitors, only for the Swaziland attacker to put his side in front for good in the 43rd minute.

The second leg had originally been scheduled for Tuesday but was pushed back for what FIFA called "logisitical" concerns.
