Former Super Eagles coach and captain Sunday Oliseh has warned that South Africa will be dangerous when both teams clash in an AFCON semifinal Wednesday.
Oliseh said Bafana Bafana are dangerous when they break forward and in captain Ronwen Williams they have a proven match winner, whose penalty kick heroics mean the Super Eagles cannot afford for the semifinal to drag into a penalty shootout.
“South Africa are compact and dangerous when they go forward,” Oliseh said on a Channels TV programme.
“When they go forward, they can hurt us.
“And we should not allow the game to go to a penalty shootout because of the aura around the heroics of the goalkeeper.
“He saved four penalties and the Super Eagles must have watched that.”
Bafana coach Hugo Broos said Williams deserved the Man of the Match not just because he saved four penalties, but his last-ditch save ensure the quarterfinal against Cape Verde went down to penalties.
Williams said the team’s video analysts did a terrific work by studying how Cape Verde players take their penalty kicks.
