Banyana Banyana are on course to defend their COSAFA Women's Championship title after recording a 2-0 win over Uganda to advance to the final.
Desiree Ellis' charges qualified for the semi-final after topping Group with three wins from three matches. The South Africans took an early lead in the counter, with Linda Motlhalo firing home after just seven minutes. Uganda had a chance to level matters after 21 minutes following an error at the back from Matlou, but they failed to convert from close rage. Shortly before the break, Refiloe Jane had a couple chances to extend Banyana's lead but she failed to hit the target on both occasions from close range. Banyana pushed for a second goal and were rewarded in the 68th minute when some good work by Motlhalo set up Jermain Seopenswe to slot home. Ellis' side managed to see out the remaining stages of the second half to secure the win and a spot in the final.
