In Banyana Banyana’s latest achievement after the team qualified for the Round of 16 in the FIFA Women’s World Cup, they defeated Italy 3-2 at the Wellington Regional Stadium in New Zealand on Wednesday morning (South African time).
Prior to the game, there had been doubts from some sections of the supporters in Mzansi about the chances for coach Desiree Ellis and the team, with some people even suggesting certain changes to be made with regards to the playing personnel.
The team went on to do business with goals from Benedetta Orsi (own goal), Hildah Magaia and Thembi Kgatlana sealing the deal, while everyone else on the field did their job exceptionally.
