    LUSAKA, June 9 (Xinhua) -- Swaziland Sunday pulled a shocking victory over a star-studded Togo in Mbabane, capital of Swaziland, to move to top of Group 11 in the 2010 World Cup/African Cup qualifiers, according to Times of Zambia.

    In a match played before a packed Somhlolo National Stadium, Swaziland took the lead in the 55th minute through Siza Dlamini who headed home a Stopper Mthethwa cross.

    Collen Salelwako sealed the victory for Swaziland in the 72nd minute, scoring an almost replica of the first goal.

    Togo, led by skipper Emmanuel Adebayor, rallied back and managed to sneak in a face-saver two minutes before whistle through Adekamni Olufade.

    Swaziland's new coach Ephraim Mashaba said his team had surprised themselves with the win over the 2006 World Cup finalists.

    Mashaba said that he would maintain his winning squad for the next potentially tough game against Zambia.
