Bayana Bayana coach Desiree Ellis says his side should have scored more goals against the Black Queens in their opening game in the Aisha Buhari Invitational tournament.
The Black Queens suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat to South Africa.
Hildah Magaia scored in the 18â² minute and two goals in the second half from star player, Thembi Kgatlana 53â², and Sibulele Holweni 84â² earned South Africa an emphatic
3-0 victory over Ghana for the first time.
Desire Ellis said the Bayana Bayana should have score more if they had adequate preparation before the tournament.
“My girls are a bit rusty coming to the competition because our training programmes were distorted due to unforseen circumstances. But the players did well today (Friday) and we would have scored more goals”.

“We were in control of the match. We can play long balls and we can play short. The game was not bad at all and I am happy for the girls. We needed a game like this to prepare for the competitions ahead. We can only get better”, Desiree said.
South Africa will meet Nigeria in the final game of the tournament on Tuesday, September 21, 2021.
The Black Queens also face Cameroon in their last game.
