Africa-Press – South-Africa. Banyana Banyana are determined to finish their Wafcon campaign on a high note when they face Ghana in the third-place playoff on Friday night and they’ll be playing with added motivation.
Coach Desiree Ellis said the defending champions, who lost their semifinal 2-1 to Nigeria on Tuesday, want to honour injured teammate Gabriela Salgado who suffered a broken leg in the clash.
“We want to dedicate this match to Gabi. The team want to go home with something,” said Ellis.
South Africa beat Ghana 2-0 in the group stage of the tournament, with goals from Linda Motlhalo and Jermaine Seoposenwe.
But Ghana will be looking for revenge after their narrow semifinal penalty shoot-out loss to hosts Morocco.
