Nigeria will participate in the Africa Cup of Nations final in 2023.
In their semi-final match on Wednesday, the Super Eagles defeated South Africa with the help of penalties.
After 120 minutes and a 1-1 score in regulation, the game was over.
In the first half of the match, which Bafana Bafana dominated, there were no goals.
However, following a foul inside the area against Victor Osimhen, Nigeria took the lead in the second half.
Reaching up, William Troost-Ekong gave the Eagles a one-goal lead.
Nevertheless, Teboho Mokoena cleverly tucked away a penalty that Alhassan Yusuf had given away late in the game.
In the end, penalties determined the game, and Jose Peseiro’s team prevailed 4-2.
In Sunday’s final, they will now play either the DR Congo or the host, Ivory Coast.
