Late goal sends team home
Williams registered five saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Canada.
Analysis: Williams delivered a strong showing in Sunday's match with five crucial saves that kept South Africa competitive until the final moments, but a stoppage‑time strike from Stephen Eustaquio ultimately ended their World Cup run in the Round of 32. The defeat closes out Williams's first World Cup campaign, during which he allowed five goals across four matches, recorded six total saves, and secured one clean sheet, offering a solid foundation for his future international tournaments with South Africa.
Two saves against South Korea
Williams registered two saves and allowed zero goals in Wednesday's 1-0 victory against South Korea.
Analysis: Williams made two saves in Wednesday's 1-0 win over South Korea, dealing with the limited direct threats South Korea managed to generate despite their 68 percent possession and eight total attempts. His shot-stopping, decision-making and leadership make him the foundation of South Africa's defensive identity, and his consistent performances across three group games have been central to the collective defensive effort that carried Bafana Bafana into the historic round of 32 clash against Canada.
