With a decisive clash against Burkina Faso scheduled for Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. GMT, South Africa is banking on the confidence gained from its spirited display against Ivory Coast.
South African goalkeeper Kaylin Swart emphasized the team’s determination ahead of this crucial match:
“The fighting spirit we showed in the second half against Ivory Coast restored our confidence and boosted the team’s morale, because we fought until the very end after a shaky first half. We need to go out there and give 100 percent or even more in this final group stage match against Burkina Faso, building on the positives from our first two games to secure the three points we absolutely must have.”
Determined to secure their qualification, the South African women know they can’t afford any mistakes and will have to show that same intensity from the opening whistle to go for the win.
