Nigeria battles South Africa in must-win World Cup qualifying match (LIVE UPDATES)

The Super Eagles of Nigeria are now precariously placed fifth in Group C of the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign for Africa.

With just two points from their earlier two games in the series, the ticket to the next World Cup is gradually slipping away from Nigeria.

To arrest that ugly situation, the Super Eagles are condemned to go all out for victory as they trade tackles with South Africa’s Bafana Bafana tonight at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.
