The third-place playoff against Ghana will determine who goes to Tokyo in 2020
SA coach David Notoane is hoping his attacking unit find their scoring boots when they take on Ghana on Friday in the bronze medal match at the Under-23 Africa Cup of Nations with a ticket to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics on the line.
Notoane knows they need a change of luck‚ and composure in the box‚ to beat a good Ghana side who will be fired up to win an Olympic place. “We know our challenges‚ we came into this tournament having scored 11 goals and conceded one [in qualification]. I said to the players that maybe the level in the qualifiers was not anywhere near this level‚ and that is what makes this tournament so tough.
SA were ousted 3-0 in the semifinals by hosts Egypt‚ but that does not begin to tell the story of that game‚ where a dubious penalty was awarded to the home nation that swung the momentum of the contest in their favour.
