Soccer: Banyana wants to bounce back against Japan in friendly

# Soccer: Banyana Banyana coach Desiree Ellis says South Africa will use the lessons from their 5-nil loss to Japan on Saturday to improve ahead of tomorrow’s second international friendly in Osaka. She emphasises the loss provided valuable lessons amid preparation for the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations as Japan exposed every mistake. Ellis says facing a disciplined Asian opponent offers different challenges compared to recent matches against African opposition. The technical team is analysing the match and refining its tactical approach before tomorrow’s encounter.
