AFCON 2019: Iwobi books place in semi-final

The Africa Cup of Nations continued on Wednesday night. Scroll down to find out who was involved:

Alex Iwobi played a key role in Nigeria’s 2-1 win over South Africa on Wednesday night, helping them seal their place in the semi-final of the competition.

It was a scrappy start to the game with both sides struggling to maintain possession - but through a charging run and a deflected pass by Iwobi, Samuel Chukwueze received the ball inside the area and fired past Daniel Akpeyi.

South Africa bounced back after the break through Bongani Zungu’s looping header.
