Nigeria on Wednesday defeated South Africa 2-0 in the Nelson Mandela Challenge match played at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, South Africa.
Uche Nwofor’s second half brace separated the two sides.
The former VVV Venlo striker who replaced Shola Ameobi at the start of the second half opened the scoring with a cool finish in the 49th minute.
He capped his memorable debut with a simple tap in the 68th minute following a sweeping team move involving substitutes Victor Moses and Ahmed Musa.
Meanwhile a sports journalist Nnamdi Obanya says despite the victory, the Super Eagles still need to put in more effort to improve their rating on the world ranking table.
He further added that the team urgently needs a tactical and/or a fitness manager.
