Nigeria vs South Africa: Super Eagles overcome Bafana Bafana 2-1 to qualify for semi-finals

The Super Eagles are through to the last four of the Africa Cup of Nations, following a thrilling 2-1 win over South Africa on Wednesday night.

Samuel Chukwueze gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead at the break, latching onto his own rebound to slot past the goalkeeper.
