“And we showed that character, we showed the mentality, even when [Ethiopia] equalised. We went down, we fight for every ball, and we won at last and it’s a great win.” ntlokom
The visitors struggled to play their normal game on the bumpy surface and could have found themselves trailing very early in the first half had it not been for some fine goalkeeping from captain Ronwen Williams.
“We were a little bit afraid when the ball was coming back [to us and we needed to] control it or whatever. And you saw that in our game also, we were not confident like we were against Ghana [in the 1-0 home win at FNB Stadium last month]. Williams' heroics certainly kept Bafana in the match and Ethiopia could have made things a lot more difficult for the visitors had the East Africans managed to find a way past the SA goalkeeper during those frantic opening minutes of this encounter.
