Speaking to the media after the game Williams said: “I’ll receive this award on behalf of the whole team, the staff, the technical team and everyone that’s been on the journey with us… the analysts, they cut so many videos to study the clips, I studied them as well but credit to the analysts and the goalkeeper coach as well.
“They sent me so many clips, my phone is full of penalty clips. So, credit to the analysts because it’s not easy to get footage of these players, they are playing all over the world.
“The work the analysts did, made my job more easier because I had an idea where most of the players were going.”
“It’s definitely the best night of my career, I don’t think anything will top this unless we go on and win it.
“We know it’s going to be a bigger one, so we need to prepare accordingly and we are looking forward to the challenge,” he said.
South Africa’s next AFCON assignment is against Nigeria on Wednesday night. Kick-off in that game is at 7pm.
