Banyana Banyana have qualified for the African Women’s Cup of Nations finals to be hosted by Morocco in July this year.
This comes after Banyana’s 1-1 draw with Algeria at Stade Omar Hamadi in Algiers on Wednesday evening. Coach Desiree Ellis’ team won 3-1 on aggregate following their 2-0 victory in the first leg played at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto last Friday.
The Algerians scored first through Sylia Koui just as the match referee was about to blow for half-time. Banyana pressed hard at the beginning of the second half and were awarded a penalty, which was converted by Linda Motlhalo in the 63rd minute.
