Banyana Banyana 0-4 Equatorial Guinea"In 2018, we got so close, and then there was no competition in 2020 ," Ellis said during the post-match press conference.
"Before we started our camp, we sat down as a group and said, what is our aim? What is our objective? "The first was to qualify for the World Cup. The second was to win the final, and I think we have to give ourselves this chance after coming so close in 2018. It is not just for us. It's also for the players that were there in 2018."
Ellis continued:"This is a huge victory. We will celebrate tonight like we normally do after every victory, and then we'll work and watch the game and then prepare for the final."Now that we got this out of the way, we will look ahead and look at the opponent, work out a strategy and then it's up to the players like they were tonight; they were absolutely magnificent.
