Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies will be aiming for further success when they play Double Action Ladies from Botswana on August 9, which is National Women’s Day in South Africa.
They just defeated Costa Do Sol of Mozambique 8-1.
Coach Agnes “Madala” Nkosi, who is in position to lead the squad, is aiming for a strong outcome to honour National Women’s Day ahead of the match against Double Action.
“As South Africans, this day has great significance because it enables us to honour the fortitude and tenacity of women as well as their contributions to society and our nation.
It’s a chance to honour the generations of women whose battles built the groundwork for today’s advancements in the advancement of women in all spheres of life.
We want to win convincingly on this important day.
Coach Nkosi believes that the game of football is getting more unexpected, despite the fact that his team is favoured to win.
We have seen how the women’s game is continually changing due to significant investment in the sport by many African countries.
As a result of their desire for success, the Double Action Ladies are expected to put up a fight.
Despite the fact that we won our first game with eight goals, we still need to work hard to prevent any surprises.
The players know what is expected of them, and we want to adhere to our game plan.
Melinda Kgadiete scored a stunning hat trick as Sundowns Ladies defeated Double Action Ladies for six last year during the tournament.
The goals also included Andisiwe Mgcoyi, Zanele Nhlapho, and Lelona Daweti.
Regarding the outcome from the previous year, Coach Nkosi said, “A lot has changed since then.
When we faced off against them before, we shown our class, but as I previously said, the game of football is not set in stone.
These days, if you don’t prepare, success might slip through your fingertips. We take this game seriously and want to prevent any surprises.
The outcome from last year is no longer relevant, therefore we won’t let it influence how we approach them,” Coach Agnes said.
At the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium on Tuesday, Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies and Double Action Ladies will square off. The game is scheduled to begin at 12:00.
