The game went into extra time after both teams played a 1-1 draw at full time. After the extra time, they went straight into the penalty shootout.

Nigeria were able to convert 4 of the 5 penalties taken, while South Africa were able to convert just 2 of theirs.

They have been threatening him and threatening some people”, Peterside Idah said and it stirred massive reactions from the general public.
