Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi , has admitted his team’s last group game against CHAN hosts South Africa will be tough, describing the Bafana as a more experienced team.
“If you look at some of their players like (Siphiwe) Tshabalala and goalkeeper (Itumeleng) Khune, they have lots of experience and this will matter a lot going into the decisive group game on Sunday,” MTNFootball.com quoted Keshi as saying ahead of the match.
“It’s very difficult to handle these youngsters (in my team), but they are an intelligent group who have mastered things quickly.”
South Africa leads Group A with four points ahead of Mali, who also had four points but an inferior goals difference.
Nigeria lies in third position with three points, while the Mozambicans are bottom with zero point.
The Super Eagles needs a win against Bafana to qualify for the knockout stage of the tournament.
“I hope we get better and better because with football I cannot say we shall beat South Africa,” said Keshi, while insisting that Nigeria’s favourable record against South Africa will count for nothing on Sunday.
