Banyana Banyana have more than one reason to put Tanzania to the sword on Tuesday night in the penultimate round of the Olympics qualifiers at Mbombela Stadium.

Banyana will go into this match with a 3-0 lead from the first leg in Dar es Salaam where they managed to tame the elements - playing against the win in the first half - and put one foot in the last leg of the qualifiers where they will take on familiar foes Nigeria in the fight to be one of two African representatives.
