Aside the loss of the cup, Nwabali losing the golden glove to Williams was painful. The SA goalie got really lucky not conceding a single goal against Congo considering the numerous chances the Congolese wasted. Nwabali was not that lucky today with how poor Super Eagles played, the players failed him on the most important game.

Ivory Coast really needs to give a big thank you to the Moroccan team for making them qualify as best losers in the first place.

The game was simply lost from the midfield. It was simply non existent.

Williams take the golden glove over Nwabali…as expected

I mean if the Super Eagles lost this game after playing so well & were just unlucky, that would be a different case but they were horrendous....probably their worse game this tournament.

This is a real fairytale story for CIV.... from hoping on other teams to mess up to qualify ... they always came from behind and Nigeria never learnt .... South Africa Ghana Cameroon Kenya go laff us tire... oshimhen oshimhen, I no see wetin dat one de play

Infact the Super Eagles were playing like they were forced to play the finale game. No urgency at all....very lackadaisical in front of goal.

South Africa & Ghana over to you guys.

Please drag Nigerians gently😂

Congratulations to the Ivorian team. Well deserved victory. From best losers to winning the trophy....the fairy tale run wasn't a fluke after all.🤌

Even against SA, at least the SE came out in the second half. The second half has been even worse so far

We are known to always dominate the game in the second round. Watch out!!!

The second half has started exactly how the first half did

Set pieces are the Ivorians forte in this tournament. Can the Nigerian players try to curtail that?

Nwabali should try & avoid a second yellow abeg

COMPAQ:


Omo poor na understatement. But it's clearly a tactic of the coach. First half was poor against south Africa too, but our second half ws much more competitive.

I hope the Super Eagles wake up in the second half. We can't depend on luck to win. The Ivorians are equally second half specialists.
The midfield needs to come alive to effect that change. Moses should be introduced in the second half.

The coach needs to introduce Simon in the second half. Let's have more pace on the ball

This ref is quite biased towards the Nigerian players

esemes256:

This life no balance at all.

Swears after playing rubbish for over 35mins

Captain Fantastic at it again.....that was a goal out of nothing considering how poor the Super Eagles has played for the past 40mins

What is happening with the Nigerian midfield? This is even worse than the match against South Africa.

The tension in this match is palpable. You can cut it with a butter knife.

fergieboy:
Williams redeemed himself last last

Lol if the Brentford player had taken the 5th PK, there would have been no redemption.
With all the missed chances Congo, they really don't deserve the win tbh.

Nonsense!
South Africa wins

The useless Mbemba guy just made Williams shine

Wissa should have taken the 5th PK

Nah this Mbemba go allow Williams shine now 😏

Mbemba pls score & he misses

One more shot for the Congolese to win the game😂

Mokoena steady missing his PKs😂

Straight to PK shootout.....very good decision

It's been an abysmal game

This Congo team stay frustrating their coach 😂.....dude is exhausted already.

If this was the South African team that played against Nigeria, the SE would have won easily by at least 3 goals.

Nah this Congo team is cursed😂😂😂

How many chances will Congo squander in this match & pls is this the South African team that played Nigeria because ko ye mi😂

How did the Congolese reach this level? They are very disorganized when they get to the final third.

That was a glorious chance wasted by DRC🤯

South Africa will easily win this game
