Banyana Banyana midfielder Nonhlanhla Mthandi says she’s excited to have sealed a win for the national team in their COSAFA Women’s Championship group stage clash against Angola.
Banyana Banyana coach Desiree Ellis says that they are expecting a fast-paced and physical encounter against Angola in their second Group Stage match of the COSAFA Women’s Championship this afternoon.
Bafana Bafana progressed to the knockout stages of the Africa Cup of Nations with a 3-2 victory over Zimbabwe, while Egypt and Angola played to a goalless draw in Group B action on Monday evening.
Angola and Zimbabwe remain without a victory in the Africa Cup of Nations after playing to 1-1 draw in their Group B clash in Marrakech on Friday.
Angola coach Patrice Beaumelle has admitted that defeat to Bafana Bafana in their AFCON opener is a significant setback, but insists the Palancas Negras remain very much in the tournament.
Bafana Bafana striker Lyle Foster, and man of the match in last night’s 2-1 win over Angola, says the most important part of kicking the tournament off with a win has been achieved.
