Watch Nigeria Vs. South Africa Live Stream: Africa Cup Of Nations 2019 2nd Quarterfinal Match, Start Time
South Africa will attempt to follow up on their stunning upset of 2019 Africa Cup of Nations host and favorite Egypt when they face their continental economic rival Nigeria in a quarterfinal showdown against the team Captain Thulani Hlatshwayo calls their biggest rival, according to The South African. And the winner of the match will still have a difficult road to the final, facing either Ivory Coast or Algeria in the semifinal — two teams who, along with Senegal, have to be considered the elite of the remaining eight — which became seven on Wednesday when Senegal ousted Benin. Nigeria and South Africa will square off for survival in the match that will live stream from Cairo.
