Nigerian and Bayer Leverkusen forward, Victor Boniface, shares his thoughts on the Super Eagles’ triumph against South Africa in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast. Goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali’s remarkable performance, saving two penalty kicks, propelled the Super Eagles to a 4-2 victory over Bafana Bafana, securing their spot in the final.
The tension-filled semifinal concluded with a 1-1 draw in both regular and extra time, marked by second-half spot kick goals from both teams. Despite being sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Boniface reflects on the challenges of securing a South African visa after this significant win.
“To be NIGERIAN…You no no Wetinx God do for you This country so sweet,” expresses the Bayer Leverkusen player on X. He further acknowledges the potential difficulty in obtaining a South African visa post-victory.
Looking ahead, Nigeria is set to face the host nation, Ivory Coast, in the tournament final on Sunday. Meanwhile, South Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo are slated to compete for the third-place prize on Saturday.
