Banyana Banyana are looking forward to giving hosts Jamaica a sterner test when the two nations meet again at the Catherine Hall Stadium in Montego Bay on Monday.
The Sasol-sponsored South African senior women’s national team lost the first meeting 0-3 on 29 November 2024 at the same venue and will be determined to make amends in the second international friendly match.
Banyana Banyana will be looking to correct their errors in this second match and Head Coach Dr Desiree Ellis said her team will have to be more deliberate when going forward against the Reggae Girlz.
“We had a great video analysis session with the players, and we know that going into the second match we will have to be aggressive upfront. We are good at creating chances and staying compact at the back, but it will be important that we make use of our chances,” said Dr Ellis.
“One of the main reasons for these matches was to see new players, and we will continue to give as many players as possible a chance to play, but this is also always dictated by the match itself. We are looking for an improved performance tomorrow, as we are still preparing for next year’s WAFCON.”
The match will be live on Youtube and kick off is at 02h30 on Tuesday morning (South Africa time) as Jamaica is seven hours behind South Africa
