Breaking: Eagles soar high against Bafana to seal spot in semi

Goals from Chukwueze and Troost-Ekong saw Super Eagles knock out Bafana Bafana of South Africa.

Nigeria defeated South Africa 2-0 at the stadium in Cairo to seal a spot in the semi-finals.

Samuel Chukwueze had put the Eagles in the lead after 27 minutes when he finished from close range. 

South Africa need the VAR to decide if Zungu header was a goal after the ball had struck the back of Ighalo from a Percy Tau free kick. 

But the South Africans lost focus in 89 minutes as Moses Simon corner kick was tapped home by Troost-Ekong.
