Motlhalo calls for cool heads after tough win over Nigeria

Chrestinah Thembi Kgatlana of South Africa is fouled by Nigeria goalkeeper Oluehi Tochukwu during the 2022 Womens Africa Cup of Nations game between Nigeria and South Africa at Stade Prince Moulay Al Hassan Stadium in Rabat, Morocco.

Banyana have now beaten Nigeria, the defending champions in Morocco, three times in recent memory. In 2018, SA beat the Super Falcons 1-0 in the Awcon pool opener in Ghana, before losing to them on penalties in the final. In September last year, Banyana outshone Nigeria 4-2 in the Aisha Buhari Cup final in Lagos.

Motlhalo has underlined the importance of not getting ahead of themselves, concentrating on their next Group C tie against debutants Burundi tomorrow , at the same venue where they beat Nigeria."We take one game at a time. We're playing against Burundi on Thursday and we're going to need the same energy we had against Nigeria. We're not underestimating anyone. We will continue working hard to make sure we win all the games," said Motlhalo.
