Although Ethiopia are not one the biggest teams around, Bafana’s superior physical strength and height certainly came to the fore at the Bahir Dar Stadium, particularly as it led directly to Mvala’s goal.
“When we went into the changeroom at halftime, we changed the formation a little bit. We put Brooks just in front of me, and it worked for us. We managed them very well and that’s how we managed to get goals. I think our defending was very good. We knew we had height advantage at set-pieces and we used it wisely,” Mvala said.“I think at that moment I was lucky. I don’t know what happened.
“Let me just stay at the back, and the ball came to me. The goalkeeper wanted to come in, but he went back to his post and the ball fell on to my feet and I was alone and I just put the ball into the back of the net.”
Ei , this is not a long distance race it is football if BafanaBafana can’t take care of Ethiopia then they don’t deserve to go to World Cup
I feel so lucky to have you in my life, you are so supportive and caring. I feel like I won a medal I feel impressed with Geoffreypreud
