The 1-0 victory over Belgium in the Cyprus Women’s Cup has given Banyana Banyana confidence ahead of their third Group C clash against the Czech Republic on Monday at the Paralimni Stadium, kick-off is at 2:30pm.
The tournament is currently underway in Cyprus and the South Africans are based in Ayia Napa.
In the first match the Sasol-sponsored Banyana Banyana went down 2-0 to Mexico, but they bounced back in the second match of the competition with a goal from Jermaine Seoposenwe in the 21st minute on Friday, 6 March.
“The mood is great after the win against Belgium. It was a big win for us. We felt bad about the Mexico loss, so we just wanted to come back and make the country proud,” said USA-based striker Seoposenwe.
Banyana Banyana are using the Cyprus Cup as preparations for the All Africa Games which are scheduled to get underway later this month, and the Rio 2016 Olympic qualifiers for later in the year.
Vera Pauw’s charges were placed in Group C together with Mexico, Belgium and Czech Republic.
They will be looking to get their second win when they face the Czech ladies on Monday, and Seoposengwe believes they have the ability to get positive results against their European counterparts.
“Everyone is relaxed in the team, we have gained a lot of confidence from the win against Belgium and we feel like we can go on and get a win against the Czech Republic. I am confident that we are going to do well.
“We are all motivated because we are playing against big teams in this tournament which we don’t get to play against very often, so when that does happen, everyone is ready to go and ready to win. These are the kind of games where no player needs motivation to perform,” said the Banyan Banyana striker.
Banyana Banyana are second in their group with three points, while Mexico tops the group with six points after winning both their matches against the Banyana Banyana and Czech Republic.
