Vera Pauw's side secured their spot at next year's Olympic Games in Rio, after earning a 1-0 win over Equatorial Guinea in their second leg of the final qualifier.

Seoposenwe, who scored the winning goal, hopes this victory can help women's football to get more recognition in South Africa.

"We worked as a team and did what we had to. Guinea was tough but we felt we were better. We build our confidence from the first leg and we had no reason to doubt ourselves. We are not individuals we work as a team – when we lose we lose together and in victory we are also together," Seoposenwe told SAFA.net

"The win means a lot, as it will hopefully lead to women's football being recognised in South Africa. 

"We just need to build from this as we are growing in our game. We wanted to make South Africa proud and that is what we did. The goal I scored is not about me, but it stems from teamwork."
