Banyana Banyana reached the 2023 Fifa Women’s World Cup knockouts following a 3-2 victory over Italy at Wellington Regional Stadium on Wednesday.
It was an emotional outing for Banyana who won their first-ever World Cup match and it was important to leave them second in Group G and progress to the last-16.
The whole Italy team must be blaming themselves for failing to preserve their initial lead and also allowing Banyana to take the lead again after they had equalised. The Azzurri just needed a point from this game to proceed to the next round.
Banyana will now prepare to face the Netherlands on Sunday in the Round of 16.
