First Half ended in stalemate

42′ Bafana came come close to opening the scoring following a cross by Langerman into the box, which Akpeyi failed to deal with the ball hitting the crossbar. 

Bafana Bafana should be proud of their first half performance, but they need to deal better with Nigeria in midfield. The home side dominated the game, but failed to really trouble goalkeeper Khune.

54’GOOOOAAAALL!!! Rantie breaks the deadlock with a great header from inside the box after a decent cross by Mphahlele on the right hand side. South Africa are in front.

81′ GOOOOAAAAL!!! Tau caught the largely inexperienced Nigerian defenders off-guard before going pass Akpeyi to find the back of the net.

South Africa has just humiliated Nigeria on home soil with bunch of inexperienced players displaying lackluster performance.

What a calamity!

No! Embarrassing Display?
