Match Report: South Africa Vs Nigeria (0:0) by entadaplace1: 10:02pm On Sep 10, 2014 |
With reports of a Congo win at home to Sudan, the Super Eagles had it all to do in a must win AFCON qualifier at the Cape Town stadium against host south Africa but couldn’t do enough to get all 3 points as they could only settle for a draw. The South African’s were quick off the block causing the Nigerian’s a few problems and could have easily gone ahead in the opening minutes but a timely block from Omeruo prevented a scoring opportunity for the South African’s. The Nigerian’s however would take control of the game but couldn’t create a decent scoring chance. Both sides lacked any form of cutting edge to take hold of the game as Half time approached. The 2nd half started with both sides trying to take control of the game bit poor passes and a lack of control saw a game not keenly contested by either side looking not to make mistakes starting to be an even dull affair. The Nigerian’s would have felt the dropped points despite managing to shed more of the possession and also having a goal bound header cleared of the line with an acrobatic header. In the latter stages, South Africa fashioned out a few chances of their own after a decent spell saw them get the upper hand but Ejide was the hero saving the goal bound shot as both sides played out a scoreless draw. All in all, the Super Eagles would feel they could have done better after this uninspiring display see them only pick a point from a possible 6 and also see Congo top the group with 6 points from the opening 2 games as they saw of Sudanese side who is yet to score a goal in the 2 games is placed bottom on the log. Nigeria sits in 3rd place with only 1 point while south Africa with 4 points sits in 2nd place going into the day 3 of the AFCON qualifiers. Source |
