Bafana Bafana Will Be Motivate Against The Eagles

South Africa’s poor record of not having beaten Nigeria in a competitive game will make Saturday’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier a very difficult match so says Super Eagles goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa.

The Eagles have won seven of their twelve meetings with the Bafana Bafana with the South Africans’ only win coming in the friendly Nelson Mandela Challenge in November 2004 which the Bafana Bafana won 2-1.

He said “We understand the rivalry between both countries and I know this game will be very difficult for both teams, Nigeria and South Africa both missed the last Nations Cup in Gabon, and we in particular the last two editions so we’re not ready to miss out again. The boys are hungry for success. They are desperate to beat us having not defeated us in a competitive game and we heard they had someone follow our preparations in France.”
