Nigeria’s Super Eagles are through to the semifinal of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations championship.
Villarreal star Samuel Chukwueze opened the scoring for the three-time AFCON champions in the 27th minute through a close-range tap effort.
Bongani Zungu leveled up for the Bafana Bafana through a VAR assisted goal in the 71st minute but a late minute strike from Troost-Ekong sealed the win for the Eagles.
