Banyana Banyana coach, Desiree Ellis has revealed her team will take the game to the Super Falcons ahead of the Olympic qualifier second leg at home in South Africa against Nigeria's Super Falcons, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
South Africa away at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja fell to a 1-0 defeat courtesy Rasheedat Ajibade’s finish from the spot.
The African champions will now host Nigeria in the second leg at the encounter at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria next Tuesday with the aggregate winner progressing to the Paris 2024 Olympics.
“But you don't need any motivation,” Ellis said.
“Going to the Olympics is huge so you don't need motivation to lift yourself. You don't need motivation to change your mentality.
“But it's now up to us to take the game to them and make sure that we score and also make sure that we're settled in defence and we don't concede. They don't have to come (and attack), they can sit back but the onus is on us (to attack).
"We're going back to familiar surroundings and we hope to take the game to them.”
