The Super Eagles of Nigeria secure their place in the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations after a dramatic encounter against South Africa.
In a match filled with twists, Victor Osimhen's goal was disallowed, leading to a late equalizer by Bafana Bafana, forcing the game into extra time.
Despite South Africa's dominance in possession, Nigeria took the lead in the 67th minute with a penalty converted by William Troost-Ekong, courtesy of Osimhen's contribution who was fouled in the box.
Ola Aina's perfect cross to Osimhen resulted in a disallowed goal due to VAR intervention, and South Africa capitalized with a penalty, leveling the score at 1-1 in the 90th minute.
The game proceeded to extra time, but neither team could break the deadlock. In the subsequent penalty shootout, Nigeria emerged victorious, winning 4-2.
