Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has said he hopes his team will upset the Super Eagles Wednesday on their way to the AFCON Final.
On Saturday night, South Africa outscored Cape Verde 2-1 on penalties after both teams failed to score even in extra time.
Both teams first clashed in an AFCON semifinal 24 years ago with Nigeria going through 2-0.
Nigeria also won when both teams last clashed in the tournament in 2019.
The Eagles beat Bafana Bafana 2-1 in the quarterfinal of the tournament staged by Egypt.
“Reaching the semi finals is very special for South African football”, said Belgian coach Broos who led Cameroon to win the 2017 AFCON.
“May be we can surprise Nigeria now”
“The hunger is big to play the final on Sunday,” Broos said.
