South Africa's goalkeeper, Kaylin Swart, anticipates another challenging match against Nigeria's Super Falcons.
Despite a commendable performance in the initial encounter, which Banyana Banyana lost 1-0, Swart's remarkable saves were notable, particularly in the first half.
As both teams prepare to face off in the reverse fixture at Pretoria's Loftus Versfeld Stadium today, the African champions are tasked with overturning the first leg's deficit. Swart acknowledges the necessity of elevating their performance to secure a spot at Paris 2024.

“I think if we can start (the second leg) the way we finished the second half (in Abuja), I think there’s so much more to give but we’re not down yet.
