    Mark: Oh, he just got him outside the box. Saved by inches.

    Grant Kekana may not feel it, as he's been sent off, but he was so lucky to not concede a penalty as well. He was only just outside the penalty area when he chopped down Terem Moffi.

    No disrespect to him but I just know that Terem Moffi for Nigeria will miss a penalty now.

    It is a team decision that Grant Kekana has taken there.

    He knows that Terem Moffi cannot be allowed to collect the ball and advance onto his goalkeeper. He had to make the challenge. He's sacrificed himself.

  5. Free-kick to Nigeria, not a penaltypublished at 19:30 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February

    Nigeria 1-1 South Africa

    Confusion around the ground. It appears the referee has pointed to the spot, but it is just a free-kick outside the penalty area.

    Kelechi Iheanacho takes it but it is straight at the goalkeeper

  6. RED CARD - Grant Kekana (South Africa)published at 19:29 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February

    Nigeria 1-1 South Africa

    After a VAR check, the referee shows South Africa's Grant Kekana a straight red card, but will it be a penalty?

    Grant Kekana is the South African who made the challenge. Penalty or not?

  8. Postpublished at 19:28 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February

    The ref is going to the pitchside monitor. Terem Moffi may have won a penalty with his first involvement. Worrying times for South Africa.

  9. 'Contact carries on into the box'published at 19:27 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February

    That's a foul.

    It starts outside the box but there still contact in the box. VAR have the ability to intervene.

    Terem Moffi is straight into the action. He runs through. A challenge came in, but was it a clean one?

    This could be a penalty. VAR is watching this one back.

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 110 mins

    Nigeria 1-1 South Africa

    Current African Footballer of the Year Victor Osimhen is taken off and on comes Terem Moffi.

    That's a massive call with penalties looming and he would've surely been in Nigeria's first five takers.

    Teboho Mokoena, whose 90th-minute penalty has kept this game going, takes a corner from the right wing for South Africa, but none of his team-mates can get their head on it.

    Are you really happy to take penalties if you are Nigeria?

    They must surely be thinking of Ronwen Williams’ four saves in the shootout against Cape Verde in the last round.

    This game has been played at a fair old lick in stifling conditions - so does anyone have the energy to push hard for a winner?

    You get the feeling South Africa might sit back and hold what they have in this second period of extra-time.

    Nigeria's Ola Aina crosses from the left, Victor Osimhen's radar has been off with his headers today and this one is too, over the bar it goes.

  15. 'Nigeria will not want penalties'published at 19:19 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February

    Nigeria will not want to go to penalties.

    They know that Ronwen Williams saved four in the last shooutout he faced in the tournament, so they will want to win this on the pitch.

  16. HALF-TIME, EXTRA TIMEpublished at 19:18 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February

    Nigeria 1-1 South Africa

    We're 15 minutes away from a penalty shootout.

    Nigeria 1-1 South Africa

    Ronwen Williams was South Africa's hero in their penalty shootout win against Cape Verde in the last eight and could be the hero again.

    He has also saved a low shot from Victor Osimhen and also done well to dominate and gather a long throw that had been launched into the South Africa penalty area.

    I hate to say it but I'm going to... An error now would perhaps mean game over for the side that concedes.

    With a full half still left to play of extra time you would not bet against more drama even after that.

    Defender Mothobi Mvala takes charge for South Africa when goalkeeper Ronwen Williams had came off his line.

    Mvala, under pressure from Victor Osimhen, heads the ball past his own goalkeeper but knows what he is doing as he is then able to get back and clear in time.
