Banyana Banyana struggled during her first World Cup match against Spain. Despite a good start and a fast lead, they lost 3-1. It took a gross penalty (because of a rule change) and another dubious to give Spain advance against South Africa.
It was a tough lesson for Desiree Ellis' team, but she was impressed by her pace. Former international international Stan Collymoore was also impressed by their loot.
If singing and dancing to announce your arrival is not new to South Africans, it does not age. And it makes our heart swell when it is appreciated by far. The former international shared a video of Banyana Banyana arriving at the stadium. He said no one makes an arrival at a stadium comparable to South Africa – and we have to agree.
Collymore even added an "amandla" for good measure.
Watch: South Africa brings loot to the World Cup
Jenni Hermoso converted a pair of penalties in the second half as Spain recovered from a goal to beat South Africans, newcomers to the World Cup, 3-1 in their opening match on Saturday.
Thembi Kgatlana gave the advantage to South Africa with 25 minutes of play, but the Atletico Madrid striker Hermoso scored a goal twice while Spain got defended.
Nothando Vilakazi was sent off for an elevated uprising while she conceded the second penalty, imposed after a VAR overhaul, with Lucia Garcia sealing the win at one minute of time.
Spain are tied at the top of Group B with two-time champion Germany, who launched their campaign with a 1-0 win over China, a 1999 finalist.
