Bafana Bafana of South Africa tonight remained on course for a possible AFCON semifinal clash against the Super Eagles after they dumped tournament favourites Morocco 2-0 in a Round of 16 tie.
On Friday, Super Eagles battle Angola for a place in the semifinals with the winners of this tie up against the quarterfinal between Cape Verde and South Africa.
Incidentally, both Nigeria and South Africa are in the same 2026 World Cup qualifying group and clash for the first time in June in Uyo.
South Africa are second in the group with three points, a point ahead of third-placed Nigeria after two rounds of matches in November 2023.
Best wishes.
