“It will be a different ball game; South Africa game will be a different ball game,”

 

“Like I said, we will take every game in a gradual process. As they come, we take every game like a final.

 

“The South Africa game; we’ll take it like a final. If we lose, we are out, if we win, we are in the tournament.”

 

The match will be stage at the Al-Salam Stadium in Cairo and Nigeria will hope to get a good results against the South Africans and remain in position for 2020 Olympics tickets in Tokyo, Japan.
