Banyana Banyana drew their second and last match at the Turkish Women’s Cup 1-1 with Slovenia at the Emirhan Hotels Sports Complex on Tuesday afternoon.
Banyana couldnt cope with the Slovenian’s pace in the opening minutes and the European side grabbed the opener in the 12th minute through Adrijana Mori.
In the second half Jermaine Seoposenwe and Linda Motlhalo came on but the African champions struggled for long break the Slovenian defence.
However, Hilda Magaia eventually found the equaliser in the 76th minute to hold the 46th ranked team in the world, who had won their opener against Uzbekistan 2-1, to a 1-1 draw.
It was a much changed Banyana team from the one on Sunday as Seoposenwe, Bambamani Mbane, Gabriela Salgado, and Motlhalo were all on the bench.
With the World Cup coming up in July, South African coach Desiree Ellis rotated her squad with Noko Matlou, Melinda Kgadiete, Asande Hadebe and Kholosa Biyana all given a chance to start.
