Head coach of the Bayana Bayana of South Africa, Desiree Ellis says her side won't underestimate Equatorial Guinea ahead of their second game in group B of the Africa Women's Cup of Nations.
South Africa head in the game after a huge win over defending champions Nigeria with Equatorial Guinea suffering a surprise thumping at the hands of Zambia on Sunday.
Despite the 5-0 thrashing of Equatorial Guinea by Zambia, South Africa's coach Desiree Ellis believes it will be a tough game against the two times champions.
"It is always difficult to face a team that has lost so heavily because they will come out fighting‚” Ellis said.
“But we have a lot of experience‚ a lot of players who have been part of this team for a while. They are keeping everybody grounded and level-headed‚ that is the maturity they have in the group.
“For the newer ones it is the first time‚ they don't know the magnitude of this victory [against Nigeria]‚ but after listening to people celebrate they will realise how big it is.”
