Nthabiseng Majiya’s 35th‑minute strike gave South Africa a 1–0 win over Algeria in Durban on Tuesday, as both sides continued preparations for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
The hosts pressed in wide areas to stretch Algeria’s defence, while the visitors relied on compact organisation and counter-attacks.
The two teams meet again on Friday, with both coaches using the friendlies to refine tactics ahead of Morocco 2026.
