Nigeria controlled the majority of territory but faced difficulty penetrating South Africa’s organized defense.
Conversely, South Africa capitalized on exploiting space behind Nigeria’s defense, making them appear the more threatening side due to their clear strategic approach.
Despite a goalless first half, Nigeria elevated their performance afterward, ultimately taking the lead when captain William Troost-Ekong converted a penalty kick.
In the 85th minute, it seemed Nigeria had secured the victory when Victor Osimhen completed a brilliant counterattack.
However, VAR intervened, ruling that Alhassan Yusuf had fouled Percy Tau earlier in the play. As the game reached the 90-minute mark, Teboho Mokoena converted the penalty to equalize.
Despite efforts from both sides in extra time, neither could find a decisive goal.
Ola Aina missed Nigeria’s third penalty, but Mokoena, Evidence Makgopa, and Mothobi Mvala missed South Africa’s first, third, and fourth penalties, allowing the Super Eagles to advance to the final.
