'They have our full support' - Ellis backs Basetsana to eliminate Zambia

Desire Ellis has thrown her weight behind South Africa to defeat Zambia and progress to the first round of the U20 Women's World Cup qualifying group on Saturday.

Basetsana defeated the Shepolopolo 2-0 in the preliminary round, first leg encounter in Lusaka and will aim to complete the double in the reserve fixture at Orlando Stadium.

The coach who led Banyana Banyana to the Women's World Cup for the first time, is confident Jabulile Baloyi's ladies will get a good result, although she warned against leaving anything to chance.
