Nigerians have shown excitement over Super Eagles 2-1 victory against Bafana Bafana of South Africa.<\/p>\n

The Super Eagles are through to the last four of the Africa Cup of Nations, following a thrilling 2-1 win over South Africa on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Samuel Chukwueze gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead at the break, latching onto his own rebound to slot past the South African goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

However, the South Africans levelled in the second half, thanks to Video Assistant Referee (VAR) decision.<\/p>\n

With the match looking to head into extra time, William Troost-Ekong forced the ball over the line in the final minute of play.<\/p>\n

With this outcome, Nigeria will either face Ivory Coast or Algeria in the Semi-Finals of AFCON.<\/p>\n

Consequently, Nigerians on social media have expressed their excitement over the outcome with several comments.<\/p>\n
