Nigeria Vs South Africa: South Africa Goalkeeper Ronwen Williams Sends Strong Warning To Super Eagles—-South Africa goalkeeper Ronwen Williams has warned the Super Eagles of Nigeria that stats don’t play game ahead of both teams’ 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, semi-final tie on Wednesday.
Williams, who recently put his name in history’s book after saving four penalties during shoot-outs against Cape Verde in the quarter-final, gave the warning during his pre-match press conference on Tuesday.
Newsmen reports that historically, the Super Eagles have more wins against the Bafana Bafana in terms of head-to-head.
However, Williams insisted that Hugo Broos’ side are not worried about their poor record against Nigeria.
“Stats don’t play the game. You know many statistics that were against us in this tournament and we proved that stats don’t play the game,” Williams said.
“So, what has happened in the past, we can’t change that, but what we can change is tomorrow’s result, tomorrow’s performance. So we don’t look at that because that can’t change now.
“We control what we can control and that is tomorrow’s performance and tomorrow’s result.”
