Banyana beat Super Falcons to claim Aisha Buhari Cup Ofentse_Ratsie
The two sides were desperate to win this African women's powerhouse contest but could not find the back of the net in the early stages despite creating a number of chances, with coach Desiree Ellis' ladies seeing more of the ball in those initial minutes.
Banyana was to find the back of the net a few more times during the mouth-watering encounter as after Chidi's own goal in the sixth minute, Linda Motlhalo scored in the 17th, Gabriela Salgado in the 43rd and Mamello Makhabane from the penalty spot in the 86th. After half an hour's play, SA's pressure forced three corners, but they could not exploit their chances. Banyana missed a gilt-edged chance to go further ahead, but there was no-one at hand to steer the ball into the back of the net after Thembi Kgatlana’s smart ball control.
