I think it is a respectable result against resolute opposition. The theat posed by this Tanzania should not be minimised.
Well done to the young ladies when you consider their preparations could have been more robust – no thanks to the NFF.
The return leg will be war; the winner takes it all.
Tanzania will rightly feel they are still very much in this tie. I think with the right strategy and effective application from the girls, we should be able to take the day.
Good luck to the Falconets!
