EXCLUSIVE: AFCON: Getting South African Visa Will Be Hard Now
Nigeria and Bayern Leverkusen striker, Victor Boniface has reacted to Super Eagles win over South Africa at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, in Ivory Coast.
Goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali saved two penalty kicks as the Super Eagles edged Bafana Bafana 4-2 to earn a place in the final.
The full time and extra time of the highly tensed semifinal clash ended in a 1-1 draw following two second half spot kick goals from both sides.

“To be NIGERIAN…You no no Wetinx God do for you This country so sweet,” the Bayer Leverkusen man wrote on X.
“To get South Africa VIsa go hard die now,” he added.
Nigeria will now play the host nation, Ivory Coast, in the final of the tournament on Sunday, while South Africa and Democratic Republic of Congo will lock horns for the third place prize on Saturday.
