Brazil Too Strong For Banyana


 

Banyana Banyana have suffered a 3 - 0 defeat in a friendly match against South Americans champions Brazil at Orlando stadium.


Banyana Banyana sat back in the opening stages of the match and observed pressure from Brazil nearly resulted in a breakthrough as Adriana de Silva headed wide at the back-post after latching onto a cross.


The visiting team kept putting pressure on  Banyana and forced a point-blank save from Amanda Dlamini to parry a first-time shot from Geyse Ferreira and Kerolin most notably.


The Brazilians found the breakthrough three minutes before halftime when Geyse chest down a looping ball outside the area and volleyed in off the underside of the woodwork.


The South Americans champs capitalised from a poor defensive clearance by Bongeka Gamede with Adriana scoring the second goal for her team two minutes before halftime.


The lead gave the visitors a chance to introduce debutant Beatriz Zaneratto who replaced Deborah de Oliveira and Micaelly replaced Kerolin.


Banyana started well in the second stanza and threatened to make a comeback from few balls in and around the Brazilian defence, but they couldn’t find the back of the net. 


But, Brazil managed to get the third goal from Tamires de Britto who finished off a loose ball from a clever angle whilst Banyana struggled to deal with a ball in the box.


African champs were forced to make late  substitutions after goalkeeper Dlamini picked up a knock and saw Kaylin Swart enter, whilst Cesane was replaced by Thalea Smidt.

The Spaniard born Riveiro is impressed with Erasmus fitness and professionalism at training, and believes that the 32-year-old can make his second spell debut on weekend against his former team. “Well, I’ve found an experienced player – smart, professional because he’s in good fitness levels, which tells me that he was taking care of himself, and it’s a ready, plug-and-play player,” said Riveiro. “He’s ready to perform and train, and it takes time of course [because] he’s just arrived a few days ago and has had a few experiences with the group, with the team and the methods so far, so we need to be patient. Riveiro believes that previous achievements cannot be used aga...

However, Zwane called for calm in their run of three successive league defeats, stating the defender will learn from his mistake and that his behaviour was a result of being upset with himself. “I believe Njabulo was a bit upset at himself that he gave the ball away in the wrong areas and we were punished, I don’t view it as other people may seem to be something that is bad,” Zwane said after the game. “I was a player myself so maybe he was upset, I believe he was upset at him...
