How to Watch Nigeria vs South Africa AFCON Semi-Final, Head To Head, Kick-Off Time
SHARE

The stage is set for a thrilling encounter as Nigeria and South Africa lock horns in the semifinals of the CAF AFCON 2023, with a place in the finals hanging in the balance.

Both teams arrive boasting impressive form and resilient defenses, but only one can progress to the coveted final.

Nigeria Faces Osimhen Dilemma

A cloud of uncertainty hangs over the Super Eagles‘ camp as talismanic striker Victor Osimhen battles abdominal discomfort.

His absence would be a major blow, considering his leadership and goal-scoring prowess. Coach Peseiro must prepare contingency plans if Osimhen is ruled out, potentially relying on Lookman and Simon to shoulder the attacking burden.

Their resolute defense, marshaled by Williams and Kekana, has been a cornerstone of their success.

Coach Broos, known for his AFCON magic, will be aiming to repeat his 2017 heroics with Cameroon and guide South Africa to an unlikely final appearance.
