Super Eagles eliminate South Africa to cruise to AFCON 2019 semi-finals
The Super Eagles of Nigeria are through to the semi-finals of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations after defeating the Bafana Bafana of South Africa 2-1 at the Cairo International Stadium. Â
Â
William Ekong’s 90th-minute winner dealt the cruelest blow to Stuart Baxter’s side, who had fought back to level in an even contest at Cairo’s International Stadium. Â
Â
Bafana couldn’t muster the intensity that saw them put the wind up host nation Egypt from the get-go the previous weekend.
Â
Samuel Chukwueze and William Troost-Ekong's goals was enough to seal Nigeria’s place in the last four of the tournament.
