Nigeria were hanging on there!

The Athletic

90+6′ Nigeria 1-1 South Africa

Oh my giddy aunt.

Teboho Mokoena, who scored the penalty, stands over the free-kick. It’s fairly central, 30 yards out, but he loves a long shot.

He lets fly, great technique, dipping and swerving in the air with his side-foot. Nwabali is behind it but maybe gets his angles wrong and palms it back into danger rather than wide or out of play.

Khuliso Mudau times his run to the loose ball brilliantly but with the goal gaping and Nwabali still on the ground he steered his left-footed effort well over.

You simply HAVE to score that. It was bouncing and on his wrong foot but… that could have been the winner.
