Bafana Bafana on the path to glory

Williams is the toast of the town after his heroics, and spoke passionately about the achievement of the team following the latest victory.

“I’m over the moon,” he said on SABC.

“I’m filled with joy, happiness. Not for the penalties but for the team. We deserve it, we fought so hard to the end. We keep fighting 120 and plus minutes, almost 130 minutes.

“We fight and keep going, guys were cramping. It just shows the desire and will we had to keep going. I’m just over the moon and I’m glad that we came out victorious today.”

Williams also credited team analyst Sinesipho Mali for providing him with plenty of key information ahead of the penalty shoot out.

“I don’t think anything can top this unless we go on and win it,” he added.

“I’m over the moon, I’m ecstatic. But once again, it’s not me, it’s the team. You know the analyst, he studied the penalties, they sent me so many penalties.

“Credit to the analyst as well.”
