BREAKING‼️ Banyana Banyana advanced to the FIFA Women's World Cup knockout stages for the first time in their history after defeating Italy 3-2. SLSiya Read more:
Veteran defender Nokou Matlou was given her first start for Banyana at the tournament, while Robin Moodaly came in for captain Refiloe Jane, who was included on the bench after recovering from the injury she sustained against Argentina.
After the early set back, Banyana went close to getting back on level terms on 20 minutes when the ball dropped kindly to Moodaly, who unleashed a first-time strike that crashed against the upright. Banyana's joy was nearly short-lived as their failure to defend set-pieces almost proved detrimental once again, as Beccari rose above her marker to meet a corner but her header crashed against the upright before the ball was cleared.
The South Africans had a chance to extend their lead three minutes later when Magaia's cross found Kgatlana, who saw her close-range header brilliantly saved by Durante.
