It is obvious this rohr guy is just here to eat our money and go, like the rest.

he is never serious with first match I sensed it from the first world cup qualifier match

I'm tired of all these people who are ranting and cursing just because Nigeria lost to South Africa. Some are even spewing trash by introducing tribalism and all such nonsense .
For your information, football is a game of win , lose or draw. You can't win all the time .
If you can't stand losing, then sorry go and watch African Magic, Zeeworld or the Kardasian shit on E.

Leave soccer to the men, its not meant for boys.

Nigeria s.eagles are always a disappointment. Ordinary south African team.. Instead to start looking for goal since d first minute they were just there jogging around... This nigeria team doesnt know how to approach a crucial match.. Go ask mourinho.. Get me goal within 10minutes...
Nonsense team! Hypertensive team called (supa hegoat)
mtcheeewww..

Biafra would not have lost.

Stop being silly for once.

Thank God there was no electricity to watch it tonyt, my BP would ve boiled over.....I feel very bad about this result!!! There's still hope.

woodmood:


No sir.
Troost ekong, shehu abdulahi, Simon Moses, iheanacho, iwobi are not playing their first matches for super eagles.

Not saying they were, but am saying the above mentioned didn't have d experience D team needed . Take for example iheanacho who was Dormant all tru D match till he was substituted, iwobi too didn't contribute much, too much errors on d side of d goal keeper. Take d second goal for instance, an experienced keeper shouldn't be where he was outside D box wen d counter pass was launched, that aside an experienced keeper would know better to foul dat South African player and probably get a red card for the foul and that would have prevented a second goal from going in and a free kick would have been awarded instead for d foul.

2019 Africa Cup of Nations Group E qualifier Nigeria vs South Africa match report


Bafana Bafana ousted Nigeria with a convincing 2-0 scoreline in their opening 2019 Africa Cup of Nations Group E qualifier in Uyo, Nigeria on Saturday.

Tokelo Rantie and Percy Tau were the heroes as Bafana managed their first ever victory over the Super Eagles in a competitive match.

As expected, the home side took control of the game early on as they won a corner in as early as the third minute, with Eric Mathoho closing down Alex Iwobi on the by-line to block the attempted cross.

Three minutes later, Mathoho was called to deal with Moses Simon's cross from the right but he scuffed his clearance before Ramahlwe Mphahlele's came to the rescue with a well-timed slide challenge inside the box.

Wilfed Ndidi powered his way into the box just after 10 minutes but his volleyed effort failed to trouble Itumeleng Khune, as it whisked past his goals.

Appeals for a penalty from Nigeria were then waved away by Tunisian refree Youssef Essrayri, after the ball hit Thulani Hlatshwayo's trailing arm following his attempted block inside the box.

Midway through the first half, Etebo Oghenekaro came closest for the Super Eagles as he ghosted into the box to get on the end of a cross, but his effort was poorly hit and trickled wide of the mark.

Hlatshwayo did a great job in reading an attempted through-ball as he intercepted a pass through the middle, with Kelechi Iheanacho making the run in behind.

Bafana's best chance came three minutes before the break as Langerman did well down the left to whip in a cross into the box, with Daniel Akpeyi fumbling his catch and allowing Themba Zwane a open goal to aim at, but the winger somehow only managed to hit the upright.

Just under 10 minutes into the second half, Tokelo Rantie opened the scoring with a glancing header at the near-post to give the visiting side the lead. Mphahlele's excellent delivery from the right made it easy for the striker.

The hosts almost came close to drawing level in the 78th minute when Mathoho's shocking attempt resulted in a goalmouth scramble, but Ahmed Musa, Olarenwaju Kayode and Etebo Oghenekaro somehow failed to hit the target before Dean Furman was on hand to clear inches away from the goal-line.

Substitute Percy Tau then doubled Bafana's lead seconds after replacing Rantie as Keagan Dolly's pin-point pass released the forward on a counter and, with Nigeria having commited numbers in attack, the forward cooly rounded Akpeyi to slot into an empty net with nine minutes to play.

Bafana were forced to drop deep to keep a resurgent Nigerian attack at bay, and could have added to the scoreline but Lebogang Manyama could not hit the target, with Percy Tau and Themba Zwane combining well up front.

The visitors held on for a stunning victory as coach Stuart Baxter recorded his second win over the Super Eagles, with the last coming in a friendly international at the Ellis Park Stadium back in 2004.

This win sees South Africa move to second in the group, following Libya's 5-1 victory over Seychelles on Friday evening.

Nigeria next travel to Seychelles while Bafana host Libya in the second round of AFCON qualifying fixtures in March next year.

TEAMS:

Nigeria: Akpeyi, Shehu, Awaziem, Ekong, Elderson, Onazi, Ndidi, Etebo, Simon, Iwobi (Musa 59'), Iheanacho (Kayode 71').

South Africa: Khune, Mphahlele, Langerman, Mathoho, Hlatshwayo (c), Furman, Zungu, Zwane, Dolly (Mabunda 85'), Vilakazi (Manyama 65'), Rantie (Tau 80').

FisifunKododada:

dioss:



Exactly.
The whole mistake is from the coach.
why did'nt he use the same set of people that
played Algeria.

Mehn, I can't figure this bullshit.
Only him knew what he was thinking . . .

[color=#990000][/color][b][/b]RIP SUPER BIRDSRIP SUPER BIRDSRIP SUPER BIRDS

oga pack well abeg losing a game doesn't make them super bird even brazil with all their super stars lose games so who your super bird eep

The midfield was defensively set up with Ndidi, Etebo and Onazi all defensive midfielders, therefore there was no creativity in the Eagles play. The coach failed totally by playing Ihsanacho as a top striker when he's better in a supporting role. The south Africans ain't that good.

The death of the Eagles WAS inevitable,the only way you COULD HAVE changed the outcome of that encounter was if you had collected all seven Dragon ballz and made a wish
