Despite a 0-0 draw during regular play, Williams' exceptional performance proved to be the crucial factor in securing South Africa's victory.
Mothobi Mvala successfully scored the penalty that gave South Africa the victory and a spot in the semi-finals, which they haven't achieved since 2000. This win gives them a chance to snag a trophy that they haven't won since 1996. In the semi-finals, they will be going up against Nigeria in Bouake on Wednesday. The hosts, Ivory Coast, will be facing DR Congo in the other last-four match.
The game was jam-packed with chances that were not utilized. Despite Cape Verde having a mere population of 600,000, they drew most of their players from a sizeable group of people living outside their country. They had the majority of the opportunities and were only prevented from reaching the semifinals by Williams' heroic performance. He made an incredible save to keep the match going into extra time and went on to elevate his performance even more during the shootout.
The headline for this section is "Williams keeps the game going into extra time by making a save". In a tight match, Williams' crucial save ensured that the game would go into extra time. It was a tense moment as the opposing team had a clear shot on goal, but Williams held her ground and made the save.

Williams' save was the turning point, giving her team the momentum they needed. They were able to take control of the game in extra time and secure the victory. Overall, it was a hard-fought win for Williams and her team. Her save was a crucial moment that helped propel them to victory.
Half time: The score remains 0-0 after a nerve-wracking first half.

The free-kick was aimed towards the back post and the team did a great job with it. The ball was then kicked back in the air and Semedo tried to score by heading the ball from just six yards away. It was a golden opportunity to score.
