64’ – PENALTY TO NIGERIA!
There’s that bit of class! Osimhen loses possession just outside the box, retrieves it, shows some nice feet getting turned; then, stepping away from goal, he gets away from Mvala, who can’t help thrust a thigh for him to fall over.
67’ – GOAL! Nigeria 1-0 South Africa (Troost-Ekong pen) Williams goes right and Troost-Ekong goes down the middle. Nigeria are 23 minutes away from the final!
85’ – GOAL! Nigeria 2-0 South Africa (Osimhen) This is a fantastic goal! Nigeria counter, Lookman driving through the middle with the ball and slipping right to Simon, who crosses to the far post where Osimhen taps home! Nigeria are going into the final!
87’ – YUSUF WENT IN ON TAU ON THE EDGE – Nigeria 1-0 South Africa
I don’t think he got the ball, but he did get the man! I have never seen anything like this before! It’s going from 2-0 to potentially 1-1, in a semi-final! The ref goes over to the screen!
90’- GOAL! Nigeria 1-1 South Africa (Mokoena pen) Nwabali goes right, the ball goes left, and that’s the first goal Nigeria have conceded in five games. NOW THEN!
112’ – MOFFI CHARGES GOALWARDS!
He’s in! But a heavy touch tempts the challenge, Kekana slides in and brings him down! The ref says no foul, but VAR wants a look! I don’t think it’s a penalty because it was just outside the box, but is it a red card? I think so I’m afraid…
115’ – KEKANA IS SENT OFF
The foul was outside the box but is Kekana the last man? Yes he is, and he’s going to be sent off. He did what he had to do.
