While Banyana Banyana have secured a quarterfinal spot in the Women’s African Cup of Nations with a game to spare, coach Desiree Ellis feels her side could have done better in their game against debutants Burundi.
Banyana defeated Burundi 3-1 in their second game of Group C and booked their spot in the final eight of the tournament being held in Morocco.
Thembi Kgatlana, Amogelang Motau and Linda Motlhalo scored for SA who are looking to win the competition for the first time. Ellis’ team has qualified for the next round because they kicked off the tournament with a morale-boosting 2-1 victory over 11-time champions Nigeria.
