Nigeria-South Africa: canceled goal, penalty in the process… completely crazy scenario for CAN 2024. Nigeria already saw itself qualified for the final of the 2024 African Cup of Nations.
After a lightning counter-attack, the Super Eagles, thanks to Victor Osimhen, took a two-goal lead five minutes from time. But after the intervention of the video referee, the goal was canceled. A Nigerian foul at the start of the action was punished, giving South Africa a penalty. Teboho Mokoena then presented himself against Stanley Nwabali. In the space of a few moments, Nigerians went from total joy to terrible disillusionment.
