By the time the match ended during the second half after 90 minutes, the Super Eagles played their South African counterparts 2-1 to book a place for the semi finals.

Samuel Chukwueze put Nigeria ahead in the first half before Bongani Zungu levelled on 70 minutes with a looping header, awarded after a VAR review, but Troost-Ekong struck a minute from time at a corner to set up a last-four meeting with Algeria or Ivory Coast.
