Ronwen Williams backs Bafana Bafana's readiness for tough South Korea test

Bafana Bafana head into the fixture knowing that nothing less than a victory will be required in order to progress past the World Cup group stage for the first time in the nation's history.

Meanwhile, South Korea only need to avoid defeat and hope Czechia fail to win against co-hosts Mexico, in order to advance to the knockout round, a victory for the Asian side will also guarantee progression.

"It's gonna be tough, it's gonna be tough, I mean, they are so good," said Williams to Sporty TV.

"The movement, the quality, the power, the speed and the quality of the players, you know, it's amazing. It's another opportunity for us to go and compete and I’m sure the guys will be ready then.

"We have to analyse them to see their strengths and weaknesses, how we can potentially hurt them as well and how they can hurt us."

The Mamelodi Sundowns skipper will be hoping to preserve his first clean sheet of the tournament against the Koreans as Bafana look to advance to the Round of 32.
