The story

Banyana Banyana endured a narrow 2-1 defeat in their international friendly against England in Coventry, on Tuesday night, making it back-to-back defeats on tour.

Despite the loss, the African champions showcased remarkable resilience and earned the admiration of the home crowd before they even kicked a ball.

In a night where Desiree Ellis' chargers were honouring Breast Cancer Awareness month by wearing pink kits, Banyana striding out of their team bus confidently singing iGwijo.

As custom in South African football teams, iGwijo plays a major role in gearing up the players during their pre-match preparations.
