Nigeria will compete in the CAN 2023 final. The Super Eagles qualified for the final sprint after their victory this Wednesday evening against South Africa. In a hotly contested match at the Bouaké stadium, coach José Peseiro’s men overcame their opponents on penalties.

William Troost-Ekong opened the scoring for the Nigerians, on a penalty obtained by Victor Osimhen. But at the end of the match, a goal from Teboho Mokoena allowed South Africa to snatch extra time. Finally, it was during the penalty shootout that the two teams managed to decide between themselves. The Super Eagles scored 4 shots to two for the rainbow nation. Nigeria is therefore in the final and will face the winner of the other semi-final between Ivory Coast and the DRC.
