Samuel Chukwueze was complemented by his Spanish football club, Villarreal for an impressive performance for the Super Eagles of Nigeria against the bafana bafana of South Africa, and also for booking a place in the African Cup of Nations, AFCON, 2019 semi-finals.

Chukwueze gave the Super Eagles a 1-0 lead before the break following an assist from Alex Iwobi.

but a second half flip back header from Ighalo to Zungu sent Bafana Bafana level. The goal was looked at by VAR, new to the competition since the start of the quarter-final, but the referee say it was fair.

With the game looking towards extra-time, Troost-Ekong poked a corner home at the back post after goalkeeper, Williams, came out and fail to punch clear.
