Nigeria defeated South Africa 2-1 in their second 2019 African Games men's football clash on Tuesday.
Goals from Collins Sor and Ahmed Ghali handed the Flying Eagles maximum points at Sale’s Sports Center of FAR.
The South Africans were pushed to the brink of an early exit after being walked over by Morocco for late arrival, and defeat to Paul Aigbogun’s team means they are out of the championship.
After their opening 1-1 draw with Burkina Faso, Nigeria began the clash on a right note with Sor converting Saeed Jibril’s pass after 27 minutes.
