The Super Eagles of Nigeria are taking on South Africa in a crucial qualifier for the upcoming cup of Nations.
Here are live updates from the game:
Summary:
Rantie scores via header, Tau makes it 2.
South Africa hit the bar after Akpeyi blunder
Ndidi shoots over bar, then misses tap-in
Updates:
FULL TIME: Nigeria 0 - South Africa 2
90' Four minutes added on.
89' Free kick to Nigeria
Etebo hits it and it goes over the bar for a corner. The resulting corner is headed over the bar.
88' South Africa miss another chances. After a few quick passes, Wanyama finds himself in front of the net and hits it way over the bar.
84' South Africa make last change. Tiyani Mabunda comes in for Keagan Dolly.
81' GOAL! South Africa 2- Nigeria 0
Substitute Percy Tau scores with his touch of the game after beating the offside trap. He rounds Akpeyi and finishes it off. 2-0.
78' Some desperate defending by Bafana almost leads to Nigeria finding the back of the net. Khune came off his line, but failed to make contact and as the ball needed someone to poke it home, Dean Furman came to the rescue and cleared the danger.
75' Ndidi gets the ball on the edge of Bafana's box, and despite fires over the bar. Typical.
71' So many chances from South Africa. Could've been 3 now. Now they've been denied a penalty. Rantie goes down in the 18 yard box after being obstructed by a Nigerian defender.
70' Kelechi is replaced by Neri.
69' Beautiful link up play from South Africa on the counter but the resulting shot hits the bar.
64' Nigeria get a lovely lob into South Africa's box, but it's too strong for Kelechi to connect onto it. Goal kick.
59' Ahmed Musa comes in for Alex Iwobi
54' SOUTH AFRICA SCORES!
Pathetic defending from Nigeria. South Africa whips a cross in and Rantie is free to head it in. 1-0!
48' Echiejile wins a corner which then results in a corner. The corner is wasted.
Second half underway
45' Half Time
42' CHANCE MISSED!
South Africa break on the counter and the across is caught by goalkeeper Akpeyi who mishandles it. The resulting shot from Themba Zwane hits the bar and Akpeyi runs quickly to cover it.
30' Nigeria piling the pressure on but so far South Africa have been resilient, breaking on the counter.
27' Nigeria's free kick hits the wall
21' NDIDI MISSES
Another opportunity for Nigeria. Kelechi plays a square ball inside the opposition's box after much struggle but Ndidi cannot hit the target after arriving from deep.
19' Dolly on the ball as Bafana try to open the Nigerians up outside the box, but the left-footed midfielder doesn't take a shot and the Super Eagles do well to regroup and deal with the danger. Bafana need to be taking shots from range.
11' NDIDI STRIKES!! A clearance by Mphahlele falls into the path of Ndidi who shoots over the goal
7' Simon beats Langerman and passes to Iwobi, but Mathoho uses his long legs to make a fine tackle and him from shooting
