U17 Women's World Cup qualifier: Dludlu hails Bantwana after Zambia elimination

Simphiwe Dludlu has praised South Africa's team spirit in their 3-0 victory against Zambia in Saturday's second leg in the first round of the U17 Women's World Cup qualifier in Johannesburg.

Bantwana were in danger of missing out after their 2-0 first-leg loss in Lusaka a fortnight ago after goals from Dorica Malunga and Esther Banda at Nkoloma Stadium.

However, goals from captain Jessica Wade, Nelly Gamede and substitute Kananelo Taiwe ensured the hosts overturned their two-goal deficit to book a place in the second round of the qualifying series.
