'I know we can do better': Banyana's Seoposenwe proud of Tanzania win, but expects more

The hard-to-please Jermaine Seoposenwe was content with Banyana Banyana's 3-0 win over Tanzania in the first leg of the Olympics qualifiers, but admitted that the team can improve - especially with the competition set to increase in the next round.

Banyana overcame rustiness in their first match since 4 December to easily brush aside Tanzania in Dar es Salaam on Friday and put themselves in a favourable position ahead of the return leg in Mbombela on Tuesday night.

If Banyana progress from this stage, they will face either Cameroon or Nigeria - who will offer a stiffer challenge – in the last stage of the qualifiers in April where the winner of that two-legged tie will be one of two women's teams to represent Africa at the Games in Paris later this year.

The west African giants played to a goalless draw in the first leg in Douala on Friday. Abuja will host the return leg on Monday.
