59 Banyana Banyana star, Thembi Kgatlana has boasted that the team has what it takes to dent Super Falcons’ hope of playing at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
Recall that Nigeria defeated South Africa 1-0 in the first leg at the MKO Abiola National Stadium in Abuja last week Friday.
With both teams set to clash in the second leg today, Kgatlana told SABC News that the Super Falcons are not a team that plays the ball but wants to run behind opponent.

She believes the team will take advantage of their home supporters in a bid to overcome Nigeria.
“The fact that they didn’t cut the grass and they know that we’re a team that moves the ball,” Kgatlana said to SABC News.
“That’s why I said in an earlier question that when we get home with better facilities, we know that the pitch will favour us, the same way the pitch favoured them.
“They are not a team that plays the ball, they are a team that wants to run behind and that’s exactly what they do.
“You drop the ball, it doesn’t bounce, it just lands on top so that’s what they want to do and I think it worked for them but we also have an advantage when we go home to play wit better facilities.”
