Coach of South Africa’s U-20 womens team, Elisabeth Migchelsen was happy her wards overcame the Zambia hurdle but was quick to acknowledge the superior fire power of their next opponents, the Falconets. She said, “they would be difficult to beat.”
The match against Zanbia, which ended 3-2 was played on Saturday, at Makhulong Stadium in Tembisa.“We knew that if we went through we will end up with Nigeria, and we also know it will be twice as much a battle as we had against Zambia. It is going to be very hard and difficult to beat Nigeria,” said the coach.
Motlhalo found the back of the net just 17 seconds into the match while Mosili Makhoali chipped in with one in the second half.
The first leg ending goalless two a fortnight ago at the Nkoloma Stadium in Zambia.;
“First of all I am very happy for the girls because the away game was very tough and they worked hard. At training before the second leg they were very aggressive and were prepared for the battle and we came out as winners, which is very good for the girls,” reflected Basetsana coach Elisabeth Migchelsen.
The win was sweet revenge for South Africa as Zambia edged them out of the 2015 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifiers, which was held in New Zealand.
Basetsana had a few injury concerns from the Zambia game with Chamelle Wiltshire and Bongeka Gumede picking up some knocks but the coach is confident they will make a quick recovery.
