Nigeria 1-1 South Africa: Super Eagles World Cup qualification dream suffers another blow

Nigeria’s stuttering start to their World Cup qualifying campaign continued on Friday night in Uyo, as they were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against South Africa.

This result marks their third consecutive 1-1 draw in the qualifiers, leaving them in a precarious position of second-from-bottom in Group C.

The Super Eagles began brightly, creating a handful of chances in the opening ten minutes. Lookman had the first real opportunity, firing after receiving a cross from Iwobi.
