Williams believed Bafana Bafana have what it takes to beat Finidi George’s men on the road.
The last time we went to Nigeria we beat them. I was part of that squad so I will share my experience with the players,” Williams was quoted by the Citizens.
“And it was a valuable experience in the Afcon, playing Nigeria. I think that was one of our better games at the Afcon, so it is possible to go there and get a result. Why not? We have shown we can compete with the best, we just need to show that consistency.”
South Africa will host the Warriors of Zimbabwe at the Free State Stadium, Blomfeintein four days after their encounter with the Super Eagles.
