Nigeria, yesterday, booked a place in the finals of the 2019 Total Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which will take place in Cameroun. The country secured the spot after the Bafana Bafana of South Africa forced the Super Eagles to a 1-1 draw in a Group E encounter, played at the First National Bank Stadium (FNB) Stadium, Johannesburg.

The Eagles had taken the lead in the 9th minute when a cross from Samuel Kalu directed at Ahmed Musa, was deflected into the South African net team by defender, Buhle Mkhwanazi.

Then came joy for the South Africans in the 26th minute when their man of the match, Percy Tau, dribbled past Nigeria’s defence before passing the ball to a teammate, who coolly beat an onrushing Eagles’ goalkeeper, Ikechukwu Ezenwa for the equaliser.
