Bafana Bafana captain Ronwen Williams believes they are getting closer to beating the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
South Africa have recorded just two wins in 17 outings against Nigeria.
Hugo Broos’ side came close to beating the Super Eagles in their last two games but still fell short.
The Super Eagles triumphed 4-3 on penalities in their semi-final encounter at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The two teams battled to a 1-1 draw in their last meeting in September 2024.
Williams is hoping they will finally end the run this time around.
“We’re getting closer and closer to beating them. We saw it at AFCON, we saw it when we played them away in Nigeria. Hopefully, we can take that extra step and change the narrative,” the Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper told reporters.
