South Africa’s female national team was denied their first win of the tournament following a 2-2 draw against Argentina in their 2023
Playing their second match in the ongoing tournament co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand, South Africa let a two-goal lead slip by conceding twice late in the second half, robbing the Bayana Bayana of the satisfaction of three maximum points in Group G.
Linda Motlhalo, a winger, finished off Thembi Kgatlana’s pass with aplomb on 30 minutes before Kgatlana doubled the advantage in the 66th minute and put South Africa on course for a deserved win before disaster struck. The unlikely comeback began with a stunning volley goal converted by Sophia Braun on 74 minutes, and the stunned South Africans conceded the second five minutes later through a header by Romina Nunez, a substitute.In other matches, England had Laura James to thank as the Chelsea Women’s star scored the only goal of a 1-0 win over Denmark, putting the Lionesses on the cusp of qualification.
China also scrapped to a 1-0 win over Haiti despite playing over 60 minutes of the encounter with ten women following the dismissal of Rui Zhang in the 29th minute for a dangerous studs-up challenge.
