Banyana Banyana stalwart Janine van Wyk has hit back at critics over the debatable penalty awarded by VAR, saying they simply capitalised on their opportunity.
The South Africans were awarded a dubious penalty in stoppage time of the semi-final clash with Zambia on Monday night.
Linda Motlhalo stepped up and made no mistake from the spot to send Banyana to the final.
