Super Eagles Baffled As Zungu Scores Late Equalizer For South Africa

Nigeria ended their international friendlies in March by playing a 1 - 1 draw with South Africa, allowing their opponents to draw level deep into added time after taking a lead in the 85th minute.

The result means the Super Eagles are looking for their first win since November 2014 when they beat Congo, ignoring the win against Yemen, which you can rightly classify as a B international.

On five minutes, Enyimba midfielder Kingsley Sokari’s attempt at goal was wayward, and one minute later Daniel Akpeyi was forced to make a double save, first tipping a shot over the bar before making a diving save from the corner kick.

South Africa began to up the tempo after starting slowly, and Tokelo Rantie missed a golden opportunity to give his side the lead  around the half - hour mark.

Three minutes before the end of the first half, Aaron Samuel tried a long - range shot, but it went off target.

In the 62nd minute, the referee awarded a spot kick to the home team after Serero was felled by Godfrey Oboabona .

Goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi saved the penalty, with the follow up coming off the upright.

Everyone thought the game was heading for a draw until Ahmed Musa netted his 10th international goal five minutes from time, acurling shot which gave the goalkeeper no chance.

In the third minute of injury time, the Nigeria defense failed to deal with a corner kick, and Zungu blasted the ball home from close range.
