Banyana Banyana want to ensure they end top of Group C of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) with a win against Botswana in their final round-robin ...
Nigeria (three points), 11-time champions of the Wafcon, will be out to clinch their qualification for the quarters by beating Burundi at Stade Prince Moulay El Hassan. Botswana (three points) and Burundi (zero points) are both tournament rookies. Banyanaโs 6pm Morocco time kickoff game against Burundi was played in fairly hot conditions, and some of the players from that matchup could do with a refresher sitting out the Botswana clash, which has a kickoff at the relatively cooler 9pm slot.
It will be a regional clash when Banyana Banyana lock horns with neighbours Botswana to close off the group stages of WAFCON on Sunday.
We know it will be a mouth-watering encounter as always is. We have also since gone on to play them on numerous occasions and we got positive results. โWe have not prepared any differently.
The result maintained Banyana's 100% win record in the competition as they were victorious in their two previous games against Burundi and Nigeria.
The first yellow card of the game was awarded to Botswanaโs Keitumetse Dithebe following a hard challenge on Bongeka Gamede. A minute later, Sibulele Holweni struck from range, but her effort was too weak to trouble Boseja. The goal came after Nomvula Kgoale timed her run to perfection following a through goal.
South Africa ended a successful 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations Group C campaign with a win over Botswana on Sunday night.
The win saw Banyana finish their group stage campaign with a 100 per cent win record as Group C winners and they will now face Tunisia in a quarter-final clash on Thursday. South Africa controlled the match from the start with Botswana happy to sit back and absorb the pressure from their Southern African rivals. South Africa ended a successful 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations Group C campaign with a 1-0 win over Botswana in the Southern African Derby encounter on Sunday.
Botswana head coach Gaoletlhoo Nkutlwisang explains why Mares lost to South Africa's Banyana Banyana in their Wafcon 2022 game.
"We will play against Morocco and we will prepare well for this quarter-final. "We suffered a lot of injuries, maybe because the games are so close together, but despite that we tried to take our chances. I think we tried to focus on being more offensive, but South Africa were stronger," Nkutlwisang said in her post-match reaction.
