Eswatini and Angola played out a 2–2 draw in their FIFA World Cup qualification clash in Group D, with Justice Figuareido's brace securing a point for the hosts. Despite Eswatini's lower expected goals tally of 0.6, Figuareido's clinical finishing proved decisive, while Angola matched that intensity with 0.8 xG and their own two-goal return. Both sides operated in compact defensive shapes—Eswatini in a 4-1-4-1 and Angola in a 4-4-2—and neither goalkeeper was called upon to make decisive saves, with each facing identical post-shot expected goals conceded of 2.0. The stalemate leaves both teams with a share of the spoils in their qualification bid. This result maintains the group's competitive balance heading into the final qualifiers.
