Troost-Ekong, the captain, will take. He knows what this means.
64'
There's that bit of class! Osimhen loses possession just outside the box, retrieves it, shows some nice feet getting turned; then, stepping away from goal, he gets away from mvala, who can't help thrust a thigh for him to fall over.
YUSUF PLAYED REALLY WELL IN THE FIRST GAME
I'd hope to see him breaking into the box - Nigeria should take some chances to win.
62'
Yusuf and Chukwueze for Simon and Iwobi.
NIGERIA HAVE BEEN MORE DOMINANT SINCE HALF-TIME
SA are finding it harder to get out.
LOOKMAN WRIGGLES ACROSS THE FACE OF THE BOX
Then tees-up Onyeka ... to thrash a shot somewhere towards Mozambique.
NOW IT'S TAU CLIPPING A BALL OVER THE TOP
But Nwabali collects and Zwane isn't happy, indicating he wanted a lower pass.
Osimhen is so good at getting to baslls in the box, he makes situations look more like chances than they actually are.
58'
OSAYI-SAMUEL HOISTS A CROSS TO THE BACK POST
And Osimhen's up! But he can't get over the ball, so loops a header wide.
NIGERIA ARE GOING TO BRING ON CHUKWUEZE AND YUSUF
I like both of those changes, they could do with a bit of youth and pace.
TAU HAS BEEN SUCH A THREAT
And he attacks the space behind Aina again, but this time, Aina gets back and out-muscles him,. ushering him to the grass and strutting off with the ball.
Bit of argy-bargy before it can be taken ... but it comes to nothing.
NWABALI HAS CHANGED SOMETHING!
When the latest long pass arrives into the Nigeria half, he charges out to clear.
ARCHETYPALLY, THIS GAME FINISHES IN ONE OF TWO WAYS
- Nigeria score a great winner because class tells
- South Africa score in the manner they've planned
I fancy the second option, I must say.
Nigeria don't seem to have much if a plan beyond play better, whereas SA are looking to score in a particular way ... and here they are trying it now, Troost-Ekong making a fantastic interception to prevent Tau collecting another pass in behind.
JOSE PESEIRO SHOULD CHANGE SOMETHING
But he won't, he'll just want his team to play better ... and here they come! Osimhen can't quite nick the ball away from the grounded Xulu, then Aina bombs down the left ... and misses everyone with his cross.

THAT WAS AN INTERESTING HALF
Lacking a bit of quality, but it's a semi-final, and both sides are desperate; so far, SA have looked more dangerous but Nigeria will always have better players.
