SA U-23 coach Notoane says Zimbabwe will be 'very tough' opponents

Young Bafana got off to a confident start on their path to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics‚ beating Angola 6-1 on aggregate‚ wrapping up the tie with a 3-0 second leg win at Bidvest Stadium on Tuesday night.

Notoane said SA had sent scouts to watch Zimbabwe’s second-round tie against Mozambique‚ where the Young Warriors won 2-0 on aggregate. “Ja‚ it’s a tough one. We expected it‚ in any case. We have sent our foot-soldiers to go and check what Zimbabwe are about‚” Notoane said.“We’ll see where they are strong and try to exploit their weaknesses. And of course‚ continue to build our team in terms of how we want to play the game.

“We haven’t seen Bongani Sam‚ who is a fantastic wingback. We haven’t seen Kabelo Seriba‚ another fantastic wingback who is in Latvia [playing for FK Metta/LU].“This first group have really raised their hands over the two legs to show their quality. Now we look forward to the opportunity to bring in the remainder of the group who we had in camp now.”

SA’s goals on Tuesday were scored by the SuperSport United pair of Jamie Webber in the 10th minute and Teboho Mokoena in the 70th‚ with Portugal-based Luther Singh adding a third in the 93rd.
