Bafana Bafana captain Ronwen Williams says win against Nigeria is important
South Africa captain Ronwen Williams has stressed the importance of taking all three points when Bafana Bafana face Nigeria in their crucial World Cup qualifier on Tuesday night at the Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein.
Coach Hugo Broos and his men currently lead Group C with 16 points from seven games, while Nigeria sit in third place with just seven points from the same number of matches. A win for South Africa could seal their qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, depending on results elsewhere in the group.
Williams, who also plays his club football with Mamelodi Sundowns, made it clear that the team’s focus is firmly on Nigeria rather than other fixtures. “The most important thing is to get the job done. We don’t want to rely on favours or other results, we want to take control and do it our way,” the goalkeeper told Safa.net.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has spoken about his team’s performance after the Gunners suffered a 3-0 defeat to Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the aftermath of the match and shares his analysis of the team and how they lost 3-0 to Brighton.
Speaking on the match, he shared: “I am really disappointed. In the first 20 or 30 minutes, the number of technical errors put us constantly under pressure. It was all related to the start.”
It can be noted that the team had been having a winning streak so far but fell at this match against Brighton.
Arsenal had won their opening four Premier League matches before the defeat, with the loss ending their perfect start to the season.
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has spoken on the controversial offside goal in Manchester City’s recent derby win over Manchester United and shared how Manchester United had actually benefited from a similar decision in the past.
He recalled that three years ago, Manchester United won a derby game against Manchester City with a goal that was allowed to stand despite an offside decision.
“Three years ago, we lost the Derby at Old Trafford with a goal that had to be disallowed. No one apologised. We are still waiting for the apology, Sometimes it happens for you, sometimes against you. It’s football.”
The comments came after Manchester City’s 1–0 win over Manchester United, in which Erling Haaland’s goal was initially ruled offside before VAR overturned the decision. The refereeing body later acknowledged that the decision was incorrect.
