Nigeria qualified for the final of the African Cup of Nations by having South Africa this Wednesday.
It was in penalties, while the score was parity after regulation time and extension (1-1) that the Super Eagles made the difference (4 tab at 2).
A happy outcome for Nigerians who believed that they had allowed their chance when Mokoena equalized on penalty at the last minute (90e) – a penalty reported to the Var while Osimhen had just scored the goal of the station wagon (ultimately invalidated).
Côte d’Ivoire for a remake?
It is also on a confirmed penalty at Var that Nigeria had taken the advantage in this half-a sentence then transformed by Captain Troost-Ekong (67e).
Sacred African champion three times, in 1980, 1994 and 2013, Nigeria will aim for the past four Sunday in Abidjan. Against Côte d’Ivoire or DR Congo. In the pool, the Super Eagles had faced the Elephants a few weeks ago, for a short victory (1-0).
