Ellis’ charges lost 2-0 against the Dutch side in the last 16-round with Swart making a mistake that led to the second goal in the second half.
“Look, yesterday we spoke about how to win the game we needed to score more goals. We had a lot of opportunities, especially in the first half to kill off the game. Because we knew the quality of the Netherlands. We also knew that even when we conceded with a set-piece, the chances we created should have put us out of sight. But, that happens,” said Ellis during the post-match conference.
By doing so, they became the first South African football team to reach the knockout stages of the World Cup.
