Ahead of the crucial second leg, the head coach of the South African team Desiree Ellis has stated what they must do to defeat Nigeria.
The African champion has a lot to do to upstage Nigeria’s Super Falcons who recorded a narrow 1-0 win in the first leg.
While speaking at the pre-match conference Ellis said they must score goals and try not to concede.
“We have to look at the footage to see how we can rectify things and how we can be better. We need to score, but we need to be aware to not concede and make sure that we score first to get the game back on at even,” Ellis said.
Ellis also expects the Super Falcons to come and defend and protect their advantage.
“It’s now up to us to take the game to them and make sure that we score and also make sure that we are settled in defence and we don’t concede,” she said.
The game is slated for Tuesday at the Loftus Stadium in Pretoria.
