William Troost-Ekong scored 89th victor after the goalkeeper screamed to seal Nigeria's spot in the African Nations Cup semi-finals with a 2-1 win over South Africa .
The Super Eagles, who named captain John Obi Mikel on the bench after a knee injury, were the best after keeping pace with Ahmed Musa and Samuel Chukwueze wisely.
They were delighted on the left flank and it was Alex Iwobi (Arsenal) who offered a wing center in Chukwueze who scored point blank for his first goal on the international stage.
Bafana Bafana did not spare her chances in the first 45 minutes and only marginally improved the second half.
Oghenekaro Etebo's free kick was brilliantly shot by the goalkeeper, while Iwobi hit the bar high. Team Stuart Baxter equalized in the final phase with a free kick shot by Zungu Bongani.
The goal was initially offside reported, but after VAR – presented for the quarter-finals, he felt that it was not offside since the striker came from Nigerian Odion Ighalo.
The Nigerians continued to have the best of the game and snatched the winner in the 89th minute when goalkeeper Ronwen Williams was at sea from a corner and that Udinese defender Ekong put the ball into a empty goal.
The result means that the major leagues have held a final clash with Algeria or Cote d 'Ivoire, who will play Thursday.
