Bafana Bafana captain Ronwen Williams believes South Africa’s failure to convert their chances proved costly in their FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 defeat against Canada, reports Comppletesports.com.
Hugo Broos’ side exited the competition in the Round of 32 following a slim 1-0 defeat to Canada at the Los Angeles Stadium on Sunday.
Stephen Eustáquio scored the winning goal for the co-hosts in the 92nd minute.
South Africa managed just two goals in four matches at the tournament, with only one coming from open play.

Williams said their failure to convert chances into goals cost them a place in the Round of 16.
“The most important thing to take out is how clinical [Canada] are,” Williams told journalists after the match.
“When I look through the tournament, the amount of chances we created, and we only managed to score two goals, so we need to be better.
“We need to be more clinical because at this level, you’re not going to get too many chances. The chances you do get, you need to punish [them] and wrap up the game.”
