South Africa long-serving coach Desiree Ellis has boasted that her team know how to stop the Super Falcons as both teams clash in a blockbuster WAFCON semifinal Tuesday in Casablanca.
Kick-off time Tuesday is 5pm.
Banyana Banyana of South Africa had to stop a spirited Senegal after a dramatic penalty shootout after there were no goals in 120 minutes of action to reach the semifinal of the competition.
The Super Falcons, on the other hand, cruised past Zambia 5-0 to reach the last four.
By the numbers, Nigeria dominate most categories: best attack (nine goals), best defense (no goals conceded).
However, their most recent meeting in the WAFCON ended in a 2-1 victory for South Africa.
Ellis led South Africa to a first-ever WAFCON three years ago also in Morocco.
“There’s a fire, a collective memory. We know what this match (vs Super Falcons) means. We know what it takes to beat Nigeria,” she confidently told cafonline.com
