Never ceases to amaze you does it this game?

It's the right decision. Over exhuberant and energetic from Yusuf. He bundled someone over in the middle of the park and got away without a yellow card. Third time unlucky.

It's a penalty to South Africa. A tournament lifeline.

Percy Tau was indeed adjudged to have been fouled by substitute Alhassan Yusuf, before Nigeria countered and put the ball into the net.

No goal, back to 1-0 for Nigeria. The referee has watched the incident on a pitchside monitor.

Ademola Lookman, the ex-Charlton, Everton, Fulham and Leicester man, has a chance to wrap things up when he only has Ronwen Williams to beat.

Lookman tries to go around the keeper and would have had a simple chance to tap the ball in the net if he had been successful, but Williams does excellently to get a hand to the ball.

Nigeria goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, who couldn't face the right way and watch the penalty earlier on, slows things down and needs some treatment for the sort of injury that always gets worse when you're 1-0 up and there's 10 minutes to go.

In news that is no surprise to anyone, he's absolutely fine to continue.

What have South Africa got in response? On come attackers Mihali Mayambela and Zakhele Lepasa in an attempt to claw this one back.

Siyanda Xulu and Themba Zwane are the pair to make way.

Evidence Makgopa does well with his back to goal, he spins and rolls away from William Troost-Ekong and fires at goal, but the ball zips wide and that's the last action before the second cooling break of the match

There is still a long way to go in this.

Control of the ball is even more important for Nigeria now that they have the lead.

After his incredible performance in the quarter-final shootout against Cape Verde, you kind of knew Ronwen Williams would be involved in a penalty situation one way or another today.

But William Troost-Ekong had done his homework, going straight down the middle against a keeper whose dives were Superman-esque in the last round.

Earlier in the tournament, Troost-Ekong told me that Victor Osimhen had told him to take the Super Eagles’ winning spot-kick against Ivory Coast.

Osimhen was the designated penalty-taker, but it appears that has now changed.

William Troost-Ekong with a little bit of luck for the penalty.

He goes down the middle with the side foot and the ball almost goes underneath the body of Ronwen Williams. A great bad penalty.

Brilliant play by Victor Osimhen. He pivots on the ball, pirouettes, moves away from a couple of South African players. That is a clear penalty.

The defender says he got the ball but he didn't. Osimhen was heading away from goal, an unnecessary challenge. Beaten to the ball by Osimhen's determination and skill.

Victor Osimhen makes his mark. He gets the ball and runs at three South African defenders only for Mothobi Mvala to step across the striker and bring him down.

A clear penalty. What a chance for Nigeria. Ronwen Williams in the South Africa goal saved four penalties in the shootout win against Cape Verde in the quarter-finals.

Alhassan Yusuf and Samuel Chukwueze come on for Nigeria with chances to be their country's hero.

Moses Simon and Alex Iwobi are the men to make way.

Percy Tau’s runs in behind the Nigerian backline are continuing to cause trouble.

But while Ola Aina might not be the tallest, he is certainly still an imposing physical specimen.

More than once the jet-heeled wing-back has had to sprint to chase down South African breakaways before using his strength to ease his opponent off the ball.

He has been solid all tournament, good news for Nottingham Forest fans.

Victor Osimhen, the current African Footballer of the Year, has another headed chance for Nigeria, but, just like at the end of the first half, can only steer his header well wide.

Percy Tau was South Africa's biggest threat in the first half and has a shot, but off balance and under pressure, he can only stab the ball well wide.

The ball is played forwards for South Africa, but Nigeria goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has a good starting position and is able to sprint out of his penalty area and clear the ball from a right-back spot.

Nigeria's Victor Osimhen looks to burst into the penalty area, only to be denied by a superbly-timed sliding challenge from Siyanda Xulu, who had to be perfect to win the ball - and he was.
