How To Beat Nigeria – Former Bafana Star by obamma: 8:37am On Sep 10, 2014
Ex- South African star, Nasief Morris, remembers the night he helped South Africa beat Nigeria at Ellis Park and offers some insight to the current generation.

Bafana Bafana has defeated the Super Eagles only once in nine attempts, winning 2-1 in the November 2004 Nelson Mandela Challenge Cup.

“From what I remember of that game, I think it was the way we approached the game. You can’t look at the team on paper and see the top clubs that the Nigerians play for. That won’t help,” Morris tells africanFootball.com

“It’s inside the field that really counts the most. Our team has just beaten Sudan so we are confident and it’s really good for our team.

“Let me say that we are playing at home on Wednesday so we must put them (Nigeria) under pressure and not give them the upper hand. Defensively we must be solid because I recall they did cause problems for us in 2004, even though we won. Their striker that night was Obafemi Martins and he had pace and we managed to stop them on their attacks.

“If the defensive line keeps their shape and holds the line, then we have a chance at Cape Town Stadium. I know we have a fairly inexperienced team, but Nigeria also have a newer squad and they come off a loss at home to Congo.

“For me, I believe the best form of defence is to attack, so the more we keep the ball and move it around then Nigeria have to chase the game. We used our pace and attacking players on that night, guys like Vilakazi, Buckley, Zuma and Leremi, and we got the result.”
