With both teams securing their places in the semi-finals, the stage is set for an epic showdown reminiscent of their storied rivalry.

As anticipation mounts, all eyes will be on the Stade de la Paix in Bouake as the two teams prepare to write another chapter in the rich history of African football. With kick-off set for 17:00, football fans can expect nothing less than a thrilling encounter as South Africa’s Bafana Bafana seek to plot their revenge on Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
