102'
TWO CHANGES FOR NIGERIA
Onyeka and Lookman off, Aribo and Iheanacho on.
101'
NWABALI PUNCHES CLEAR
And Nigeria counter with men up, Chukwueze on the ball! He's late finding Lookman but they switch it to Osimhen who flings his entire being into a low shot ... and Williams saves.
100'
MAKGOPA HAS PUT IN A SHIFT TODAY
He goes wide, pulls Bassey to the by-line, and wins a corner off him.
00'
LOOKMAN IS GIVING MUDAU CHAT
Presumably about that chance he missed.
97'
OSIMHEN ROBS SITHOLE AND STAMPS ON THE GAS!
He's well away, but a poor touch allows Kekana to slide in and challenge.
96'
BOTH SIDES ARE PROPERLY GOING FOR THIS
SA are high up the pitch probing for holes, Nigeria engaging 40 yards from goal.
94'
THERE'S SOME TEMPO TO THIS!
South Africa barrel forward and when the ball comes to Mokoena on the edge, he lashes a shot wide.
92'
YUSUF SLIDES A GOOD ALL IN BEHIND FOR LOOKMAN
But one pass out and Lepasa is heading towards the Nigeria box! He's eventually seen away by Ajayi, and then back come the Super Eagles, Lookman dipping an angle on the left of the box and larruping a low shot that Williams shoves away! Phew!
91'
CHUKWUEZE BLOOTERS MODIBA
He might feel a little bit better, but his team need a goal.
91'
WE GO AGAIN
19:01
THAT WAS A FUN MATCH
I can easily wear another half-hour of it.
19:00
NIGERIA WILL FEEL THEY HAD THAT WON
They were good in the second half. But they couldn't quite see it out, so must now do it again.
18:58
FULL TIME: Nigeria 1-1 South Africa
We're going to extra time!
90+6'
MOKOENA THUNDERS A CURLER THROUGH THE WALL
And Nwabali dives to shove away ... but Mudau is following up! A shot on target and SA are in the final ... his life flashing before him ... and he shanks over the top!
90+4'
MUDAU ATTACKS THE BOX
Beats two defenders on the outside and flicks back from the by-line, lepasa shooting into Mayambala. But then SA win a free-kick just outside the box, and Mokoena, the expert, lines it up...
90+2'
OH MAN!
Ball into the box, Makgopa can't get on the end, then Mudau takes a throw quickly, the cross comes in, and Makgopa leaps into a scissors-kick that sends the ball only just wide.
90'
WE'LL HAVE SIX ADDED MINUTES
91'
WILLIAMS IS DOWN!
But he'll be OK.
90'
GOAL! Nigeria 1-1 South Africa (Mokoena pen) Nwabali goes right, the ball goes left, and that's the first goal Nigeria have conceded in five games. NOW THEN!
88'
PENALTY TO SOUTH AFRICA!
Pressure for Mokoena! The moment of his life, coming up...!
87'
YUSUF WENT IN ON TAU ON THE EDGE
I don't thiink he got the ball, but he did get the man! I have never seen anything like this before! It's going from 2-0 to potentially 1-1, in a semi-final! The ref goes over to the screen!
