Afcon 2019: Okocha reveals how Nigeria-South Africa rivalry started

Nigeria vs South Africa Wednesday’s quarterfinal fixture will be the third time the two countries meet on the continental stage 

Nigeria legend Jay-Jay Okocha is looking forward to an "interesting" encounter when the three-time African champions lock horns with South Africa at the Cairo International Stadium.

Ahead of the quarterfinal outing at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, the two countries had previously met in the continental showpiece twice - in 2000 and 2004 - and the Super Eagles came out victorious on both occasions, with Okocha playing a key role in both.
The former Super Eagles captain has recalled how the rivalry between both countries started and why Cairo is a good venue for the match.There have been few first-half goals in matches involving these sides at this year's AFCON and we are backing that trend to continue on Wednesday After knocking out hosts and favourites Egypt in the previous round, South Africa face three-times champions Nigeria in the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations.
