NIGERIA 7 – 1 SOUTH AFRICA: Eagles Dominate As Bafana Seek First Competitive Win In 2019 AFCON Qualifier



Nigeria will host South Africa on matchday-one of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in Uyo on Saturday, June 10, 2019.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria‎ are in Group E, along with Libya, Seychelles and South Africa in the qualifiers for the 32nd Africa Cup of Nations to be staged in Cameroun in 2019.


Ahead of the game, Completesportsnigeria.com's JAMES AGBEREBI takes a look at how the Super Eagles and Bafana Bafana have fared in previous encounters. The Eagles have won seven of their 12 matches in all competitions. Bafana Bafana have won one, while four matches ended in draws.


NIGERIA 4-0 SOUTH AFRICA (1994 World Cup Qualifier, 1st leg, 1st Round, Group D: 1992)

Nigeria's first ever meeting with South Africa was in 1992 during the qualifiers for the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the United States of America.

Drawn in Group D, Nigeria were actually supposed to meet Sao Tome and Principe, Libya and Congo Brazzaville. But South Africa replaced Sao Tome who withdrew from the qualifiers, while Libya also pulled out.

And on matchday one of the qualifiers, Nigeria hosted South Africa at the National Stadium in Lagos and thrashed them 4-0, thanks to goals from Richard Owobokiri, Samson Siasia and the late Rashidi Yekini (brace).


SOUTH AFRICA 0-0 NIGERIA (1994 World Cup Qualifier, 2nd leg, 1st Round, Group D: 1993)

In the reverse fixture at Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg, Nigeria forced South Africa to a 0-0 draw.

Rashidi Yekini scored a goal which was controversially ruled out for offside.

Nigeria went on to qualify for the USA 1994 FIFA World Cup after finishing top in a group that also had Cote d'Ivoire and Algeria in the final round of the qualifiers.


NIGERIA 2-0 SOUTH AFRICA (AFCON 2000: Semi-final)

Seven years passed before Nigeria and South Africa met again and this time in the semi-final of the Africa Cup of Nations co-hosted by Ghana and Nigeria.

Two quick first half goals from Tijani Babangida, secured a 2-0 win for Nigeria and passage into the final.

Unfortunately, Nigeria lost 4-3 to Cameroon on penalties in the final after regulation time ended 2-2.


NIGERIA 4-0 SOUTH AFRICA (AFCON 2004: Group Stage)

Nigeria and South Africa crossed paths again at the Africa Cup of Nations, this time in the group stage of the 2004 edition in Tunisia.

After losing 1-0 to Morocco in their first group game, Nigeria needed to beat South Africa in their second game to stand a chance of making it to the quarter-finals.


Just like in their first ever meeting in 1992, Nigeria triumphed 4-0 with the goals coming from Joseph Yobo, Austin Okocha and a brace from Osaze Odemwingie.


SOUTH AFRICA 2-1 NIGERIA (Mandela Challenge, friendly match: 2004)

South Africa recorded their first ever win against Nigeria in the 2004 Mandela Challenge.

Played at Ellis Park in Johannesburg, South Africa won 2-1 with Ayo Makinwa scoring Nigeria's goal.

Other players who featured for Nigeria include Taye Taiwo, Obafemi Martins, Blessing Kaku and Seyi Olofinjana.


NIGERIA 2-0 SOUTH AFRICA (2010 World Cup Qualifier, 1st Leg, Round 2, Group D: 2008)

Despite being the hosts of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, South Africa took part in the qualifiers. But the Bafana Bafana's involvement in the qualifiers was as a result of it being the qualification for the 2010 AFCON in Angola.

Nigeria hosted South Africa at the Abuja National Stadium on matchday one of the qualifiers and defeated them 2-0.

Ikechukwu Uche and Obinna Nwaneri were the scorers for Nigeria.


SOUTH AFRICA 0-1 NIGERIA (2010 AFCON Qualifier, 2st Leg, Round 2, Group D: 2008)

South Africa hosted Nigeria in the return leg of the qualifiers which was actually a formality game as Nigeria had already qualified for the final stage.

Despite dominating a larger part of the game, Nigeria emerged 1-0 victors thanks to Ikechukwu Uche's goal.

South Africa failed to qualify for the 2010 AFCON, while Nigeria picked both the tickets for the 2010 AFCON and the 2010 World Cup.


SOUTH AFRICA 0-2 NIGERIA (Mandela Challenge, friendly match: 2013)

After winning the 2013 AFCON, Nigeria were guests of South Africa for the Mandela Challenge a few months later.

It was the second time Nigeria will face South Africa in the Mandela Challenge after their first meeting in 2004.

Following a goalless first half, Nigeria went on to win the game 2-0 courtesy a brace from Uche Nwofor.


SOUTH AFRICA 1-3 NIGERIA (2014 CHAN: Group Stage)

The late Stephen Keshi was in charge as Nigeria made her debut at the CHAN hosted by South Africa in 2014.

Nigeria lost 2-1 to Mali in their first group game before beating Mozambique 4-2 in their second game.

Against hosts South Africa in their last group game, Nigeria needed to win to progress into the quarter-finals.

Inside the Cape Town Stadium, Nigeria won 3-1 with goals coming off the boots of Ejike Uzoenyi and Ifeanyi Ede.

South Africa's goal scored by Bernard Parker was the first time they will score against Nigeria in a competitive game.


SOUTH AFRICA 0-0 NIGERIA (2015 AFCON Qualifier, Group A, 1st Leg: 2014)

Nigeria were drawn in Group A with South Africa, Sudan and Congo Brazzaville in the race for the 2015 AFCON in Equatorial Guinea.

Both teams met on matchday two of the qualifiers with the game ending 0-0.

The draw meant Nigeria secured their first point in the group after they lost 3-2 to Congo Brazzaville on matchday one, while South Africa had four points.


NIGERIA 2-2 SOUTH AFRICA (2015 AFCON Qualifier, Group A, 2nd Leg: 2014)

After beating Congo Brazzaville 2-0 away in the penultimate game of the qualifiers, Nigeria needed to beat South Africa in Uyo to qualify for the 2015 AFCON.

But the Super Eagles were held to a surprise 2-2 draw by South Africa who had already finished top of the group.

South Africa raced to a 2-0 lead before Sone Aluko scored two late goals to end the game 2-2.


SOUTH AFRICA 1-1 NIGERIA (International friendly: 2015)

As part of their preparation for the 2015 AFCON, South Africa hosted Nigeria in an international friendly game.

The Bafana Bafana dominated the game but it was Nigeria who took the lead through Ahmed Musa.

But with a few minutes left on the time, South Africa fought back to draw level.

Decision to start Awaziem ahead of Omeruo explained

As exclusively reported by Owngoalnigeria.com FC Po‎rto defender Chidozie Awaziem will start ahead of Chelsea loanee Kenneth Omeruo in the heart of Nigeria’s defence alongside William Troost-Ekong.

Awaziem made his international debut for Nigeria against Togo last few days ago, but the 20 year old has gotten the nod to start ahead of Omeruo who has been a stalwart at the back for Nigeria since 2013.

Owngoalnigeria.com gathered the decision to start Awaziem was taken by Rohr in France as he did several drills with the defenders ahead of the South Africa game, Omeruo didn’t make it to their camp in France while Awaziem did.

The Porto man interpreted correctly the drills in the friendly game against Togo which Nigeria won 3- 0 , and during training in Uyo, he was once again at his best leaving the coach with no option than to hand him a start.

Furthermore Rohr believes South Africa forward Tokelo Rantie has a physiological edge over Omeruo after he literally destroyed the 24 year old few years ago in an AFCON qualifier at same venue.

I would not consider the projections Forgiveness presents as being ludicrous, as your remarks seem to suggest.

Let's set the background, the EPL is the proving grounds for this comparison on ability, delivery outcome and quality.

From the bottom up.

a) Tega (Onomah) Vs Nwakali, both are midfielders, The EPL arguably the best and most competitive league in the World. The Dutch Eredivisie ranked 13 in Europe. Nwakali is playing in the Dutch second division way below EPL, ahead of Onomah are world class midfielders ahead of Nwakali well nobody. My opinion Onomah is ahead and better for now.

b) Solanke is a striker so bringing Iwobi into it is somewhat questionable. KC is ahead for now but just. However, both of them will have to prove who is better when they start playing regular. KC possibly for WestHam and Solanke for Liverpool. Solanke is more of an out an out striker than KC nonetheless KC has a sharper eye for goal.

c) Seyi is ahead in my opinion is ahead has played 13 games for Liverpool and 28 in the championship. Orji has played 6 for Bologna. Shall I say Liverpool and Bologna no be mate. I can assure you Klopp rates Seyi.

d) Lookman proven and tested at his young age in the championship and now finding his way through the premiership. Onyekuru has played in the Belgium league considered much below the EPL. However, the main issue is he is the star player fir his team and plays a free do what you like role in his club. When he comes to the EPL much more physical and a lot faster he will not find it easy. To me Lookman Shades him market value also Lookman is still ahead.


Add to this the physicality and unforgiving nature of if the EPL no mistakes allowed. Some of these players could easily get lost. Just like Isaac Success after doing supposedly well with Granada in La Liga he has been a flop in the EPL and a waste-man.


So it's not a laughing matter but please Lol.

Finally I'm back to England. Where can I watch the match live don't think it's on TV ( Sky and or BT sport) please anybody know


Epl the most competitive league? Ok now let me correct you there. Do you know that it is only in the Epl, Ligue 1 and the bundesliga that the champions are confirmed with three or more matches to go? This past season Chelsea did it, Leicester did it last season, Chelsea did it again the season before that, that is not competitive football at all.

The Epl is the toughest league as regards to the physical nature of the league but after that nothing else. Just because the top teams aren't good enough doesn't make the league competitive

EPL Newcomers Newcastle Release Sammy Ameobi, Others



Newly promoted Newcastle United have released Nigerian-born forward Sammy Ameobi ahead of their return to the Premier League.

Ameobi's departure was confirmed on Newcastle's official website on Saturday.

Ameobi, 25, who broke into Newcastle's first team in 2010, was released alongside three other players Vurnon Anita, Kubo Satka and Haris Vuckic.


A graduate of the Newcastle academy, Ameobi featured only four times under manager Rafa Benitez last season having spent the first half of the campaign on loan at League One club Bolton Wanderers.

Benitez told the club website: "I wish to give sincere thanks to all those players who we have made the difficult decision to release this summer.


"In particular to Vurnon Anita, who has served Newcastle United magnificently over the last five years. Vurnon is an outstanding team player, always working for the team and willing to step into whatever position he was needed to fill.

"He is an excellent professional and I thank him for every contribution he has made over the years, particularly in my time as manager.


"Thanks also to Sammy Ameobi, who came back in January and made a contribution to the second half of the season. He was always so positive and did everything he could to help the team achieve success."
Ameobi's elder brother Shola, who also played for Newcastle, was in Nigeria's squad to the Brazil 2014 World Cup.

Ex-Super Eagles Defender Abbey: Nigeria Must Beat South Africa Today!



By James Agberebi:

Former Nigeria international George Abbey has insisted that victory for the Super Eagles against Bafana Bafana of South Africa in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Saturday is non-negotiable.

The Super Eagles will welcome South Africa to the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo in a Group E AFCON qualifying clash.


The last time both teams met in Uyo, South Africa played a 2-2 draw against the Super Eagles, hence costing the late Stephen Keshi-led team the chance to defend their AFCON title in Equatorial Guinea in 2015.


Abbey, who was in the Super Eagles squad that thrashed South Africa 4-0 in the group stage of the Tunisia 2004 AFCON, wrote on Twitter: "Good luck to the boys, we need to get off to a flying start against South Africa."

In the group's other game on Friday, Libya got off to a flying start after trouncing Seychelles 5-1.

Alexis: I Really Admire Versatile, Skillful Iwobi; He’ll Be Great



By James Agberebi:

Photo by Ganiyu Yusuf in Uyo:

Arsenal and Chile star forward Alexis Sanchez has described Super Eagles youngster Alex Iwobi as a player he rates highly.

Iwobi broke into the Arsenal first team squad in the 2015/2016 season and has gone on to become an important player for the Gunners.


The 21-year-old made 26 English Premier League appearances, scoring three goals in the just concluded season.

He is currently with the Super Eagles squad who will entertain South Africa in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Saturday in Uyo.


"I really like Alex," Alexis, who won Arsenal Player of the Season for 2017, told Arsenal.com

"He's a player that can play up front, in the centre, he's good at one on ones.

"If he has a winning mentality and keeps pushing forward. I think he can do very well. I really like him."

Bafana one of the best – Akpeyi



Nigerian-born and Chippa United number 1 goalkeeper, Daniel Akpeyi believes Bafana Bafana is one of the best, and Nigera will need to be at their best to beat them in Uyo on Saturday (18h00 SA time).

Fireworks are expected in the opening 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, as has always been the case when the two teams meet.

“The majority of the players know each other as they have been playing together for a while now. Their recent results show that they are still one of the best,” said Akpeyi speaking to chippautdfc.co.za

Both teams have done well lately so it is going to be an interesting fixture.


Akpeyi adds that the focus for the current generation of the Super Eagles is to take back Nigeria to the top.

“We used to be the Pride of Africa, but we have not done well in recent years. Our focus is on doing well for the country, and take the Super Eagles to where they belong.


“We are going to give our all to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations 2019, after missing out on the last edition,”

Bafana Bafana though will be without Akepeyi’s Chippa United teammate, Diamond Thopola who missed out on Stuart Baxter’s squad.

Akpeyi had words of encouragement for his teammate; “Diamond Thopola is a hardworking player, and I am sure that is what took him to Bafana Bafana in the first place.


“I urge him to continue working hard, and never allow the ommission to pull him back. He will bounce back for sure as there are many games to be played,” added Akpeyi.

Exclusive- Nigeria Rio 2016 Ace Seth Joins Newly Promoted Turkish Side Yeni Malatyaspor



Newly promoted Turkish top flight side Yeni Malatyaspor have concluded the transfer of Sincere Seth who represented Nigeria at the Rio 2016 Olympic, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.


The deal for the defender who can play at right back and also in central defence was concluded last season, but wasn’t announced as the club wanted to confirm their promotion status before making the deal official.


Yeni Malatyaspor beat fellow Turkish Super Lig side Antalyaspor to the services of Seth who played in all of Nigeria’s game at the Rio 2016 Olympic where the Nigerian team picked up a bronze medal.


He will team up with the team when they resume for pre season training, and will be hoping to he gets a regular run in the team when the season gets underway at the club which already has three Nigerians on their books.


Austin Amutu, Nigeria AFCON 2013 hero Sunday Mba and vice cap‎tain of the Nigeria Rio 2016 team Azubuike Okechukwu are the other Nigerian players on the books of the Turkish side.

Newcastle Make Move For In Demand – New Striker Target



Written by Dr. Ed Harrison

Newcastle have been linked with a move for 20 year-old Nigeria International Henry Onyekuru, according to sources in Africa as reported in the Chronicle today.


He currently plays for KAS Eupen who play in the Belgian First Division which is the second tier in Belgian football and last season he scored 24 goals and had 9 assists in 41 total appearances.


So even though it’s in the second division in Belgium this forward looks a class player in the making and some big clubs are said to be after him, including Arsenal.

20 year-old Nigeria International Henry Onyekuru


Henry made his International debut for Nigeria in a 3-0 friendly win over Togo 8 days ago on June 1st.

In the two seasons he’s played in Belgium with KAS Eupen, he has made 60 appearances with 30 goals and 11 assists and that’s a very good goal scoring record even though it is in the second tier in Belgium.


There have been reports in the last day or two that Arsenal are very interested in signing and very close to lodging a bid, but the youngster is willing to snub big clubs if he will not get playing time there.

This is what Henry said speaking to KweseESPN:


“The first and most important thing for a player is to get playing time. I’m still young and I still have a long career to pursue but now I need to play.”

“My agents are in talks with top clubs in the Premier League, Bundesliga, French league and others. If they accept our terms, then I’ll make a decision.”


“It’s not just about going to a big club and sitting on the bench. It’s not good for me, or being loaned to a club where I won’t play or where I will struggle to play.”

“The money can come later but for now, I just want to play to improve, not just to play for a big club.”

Henry wanting to play regularly could be a problem for Newcastle, especially if Tammy Abraham signs on loan and we have to play the Chelsea striker, but Henry could also be sent out on loan for a year.


And maybe after another year playing first team football he could become the player who could come in next summer and solve Newcastle’s striker problem?

We don’t know how much Henry would cost but this lad looks a potential future star.

What do you think?

Three reasons Nigeria must be wary of Stuart Baxter’s South African side

Obiweluozo Martins

The Super Eagles trades tackle with Stuart Baxter’s South African side with plenty of expectations already brewing among the two teams who are from different region on the African Hemisphere.


The Super Eagles will entertain the visitors at the Akwa Ibom Stadium in Uyo this weekend as many expectations tend toward a positive result from their darling team, the Super Eagles.


The host may hold a credible record against Bafana Bafana but there are certain reasons why the Eagles should not be complacent going into the fixture.

Here are some reasons why Nigeria must be wary when South African come visiting at the weekend for the African Cup of Nations Qualifiers.


SOME GOOD MEMORIES

The Super Eagles might not have lost to the South African side in a competitive game, a positive record the Nigerian side go into the game with but the Eagles have been scratched by Bafana Bafana in a friendly.


The Super Eagles of which were mostly made of youngsters who are on the fringes as players like Taye Taiwo (before the U-20 World Youth Championship in Holland the following year) and Obafemi Martins lost 1-2 to the South African side in a Nelson Mandela Challenge Cup which took place in n2004 after the Eagles had beaten them 4-0 in the Nations Cup tournament earlier in the year.


The then South African side was led by Stuart Baxter to claim a famous win which they will be hoping to recapture the fun of the old memories to take into the game against the Super Eagles as they set to lock horns once again at the weekend.


COMPLIMENT OF HIS PLAYERS

Having managed a host of his players at Club level where most of his players plies their trade in the South African League, Stuart has a good overview of his players. So despite taking over with the big task ahead against African giants Nigeria, the manager understands and knows his onions about how to psyche his players for the task at hand after guiding them to a 2-1 victory over the Super Eagles.


The gaffer’s clues of his players will come handy as he will not need much experimentation to carve a niche for his team when the battle is set against the Nigerians.

A NEW LEASE OF CONFIDENCE


The Super Eagles might have not lost a single game under new Coach Gernot Rohr since taking over the Nigerian side but the South African have a positive record (even a better one) of their own.


The South African side on their own is on a mazy run themselves as they are unbeaten since 2015. This run includes their 2-1 defeat of Senegal at home during the World Cup qualifier which the Super Eagles drew 1-1 with though it is in an international friendly.


The visitors have not lost a game in recent times and they will need the best from the Super Eagles to crack through them and break the duck when they file out against the South Africans.
