World Cup LIVE: Coach held back by own player after VAR fury as late winner in first knockout game
His South Africa side might have been beaten 1-0, but goalkeeper Ronwen Williams said: “So proud of the boys to show our quality. We wanted to come here and compete.
“We can leave here with our heads high. Proud of the boys. The effort, the fight, the character. We keep fighting.
“We didn’t have the best start to the tournament. Our backs were against the wall, but to come out today and show up, show our work.
“Can only be proud. It’s a very young team. It is good lessons for them now going into the future but we can be proud.”
While South Africa manager Hugo Broos said: “I’m still just as proud as two or three days ago.
“I think we had a good World Cup but today, when we play against a team like this, with power and speed then we’re running behind.
“This is something we have to learn. And therefore it was important for this team that we were here.”
