South Africa U17 women's head coach Simphiwe Dludlu insists her side can take plenty of positives from their defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies in a friendly on Sunday.
Bantwana are preparing for their second leg match in Johannesburg against Zambia following a 2-0 defeat in the first leg of the first round of the U17 Women's World Cup qualifiers in Lusaka last week.
The U17 national side bowed 2-1 to the Safa National Women's League champions in the warm-up tie at Chloorkop at the weekend.
“We a grateful to Sundowns for giving us this match, and allowing us to give all the players a chance to play," Dludlu told Safa.
