South Africa host Nigeria in a crucial 2026 World Cup qualifying game on Tuesday evening.

Eric Chelle’s men appear to have given themselves a chance to dream after recording a narrow 1-0 win over Rwanda last Saturday.

In a game where talisman Victor Osimhen limped off in the first half with an ankle injury, the rest of the team huffed and puffed against the Amavubis.

New Wolves striker Tolu Arokodare proved to be the hero of the day, coming off the bench to score the only goal of the game.

Without Osimhen, the Eagles face an uphill task against the Bayana Bayana to keep their ambitions alive.
