Swaziland coach Harries Bulunga has said it is now 60-40 in favour of Nigeria to qualify for the group phase of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers after the Super Eagles drew 0-0 with his team in Lobambo Friday night.

More illustrious Nigeria could not break through the defence of minnows Swaziland for all 90 minutes even after they dominated possession as expected.

The hosts rallied back as the game wore on to eventually record a famous draw with a team ranked 71 spots above them in the FIFA ratings.

“We were a bit scared of Nigeria at the start of the game but as the game wore on, we grew in confidence and that explained why we pushed out late in the game,” said Bulunga.

“Nigeria’s best chances were mostly from set pieces.

“We will now be hoping for a scored draw in Nigeria on Tuesday to advance in the competition, but honestly Nigeria have a 60-40 chance of beating us to the next round.”
