The Nigerian national Senior football team coach Steve Keshi admitted to have underestimated the opponent South Africa and they were dearly surprised. After beating DR Congo last Saturday November 18, the Nigerians had created a better chance for themselves to qualify, but South Africa spoiled the broth. Come 2015 Zimbabwe and Nigeria will be watching from the terraces. Tokelo Rantie did South Africa proud by scoring both goals and Nigeria's Sone Aluko answered back, but it wasn't enough to saved his country from being chopped out of the Tournament. Oh my gosh-so in 2015 we will not be hearing the flutes from the Ogas cheering their national team up? Maybe Nigeria was affected by the hiring and firing of their coach Steve Keshi, just saying. Nigeria failed to take advantage of South Africa when it was reduced to ten men after Renielwe Letholonyane was sent off. South Africa and DR Congo are the finalist from group A after DR Congo beat Sudan 1-0, the goal came from Igor Nganga.
