Our players are level-headed, they know what they want to achieve, and they deserve everything coming their way. They have been absolutely magnificent. We are ready for the game tomorrow, we know it is not going to be easy, it is going to be difficult, we just pray, trust, and believe because we know what we can do and know our worth.

It is amazing but I always say that I may have received the award, but it is the team’s award, so it’s a dedication to the Banyana staff and all the fans out there supporting us from far, I am grateful and very thankful.
