Kelechi Iheanacho secured Nigeria’s spot in the AFCON final by scoring the decisive penalty in a tense shootout victory over South Africa. Initially, William Troost-Ekong’s penalty seemed to guarantee Nigeria’s progression, until a late disallowed goal and subsequent South African penalty forced the game into extra time. Despite missed opportunities from both sides during the shootout, Iheanacho’s successful penalty ensured Nigeria’s place in the final against either Ivory Coast or DR Congo.
