AFCON semi-final

[Cuthbert]

On BBC now. Who is the English guy in the studio with Jenas and Toure please?

 

[TheBlueButterfly]

Nedum Onuoha I believe.

Nedum Onuoha I believe.

Brilliant, thanks. It was annoying me not knowing, but they kept failing to put up a name caption!!

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Omeruo on the bench

Omeruo on the bench

Assuming that's Frank The Tank Onyeka we were after a few seasons back?

Big VAR shout

 

[Muttley]

Whoa that is wild!

 

[Muttley]

Penalty shout for South Africa, not given, in the meantime Nigeria go up the other end and score to make it 2-0. VAR recommends ref gives pen. Goal wiped out SA score to make it 1-1.

Then South Africa miss a sitter to finish it. What a last 5 minutes of normal time.

Sorry got so excited, missed this thread

Feels like a classic 3rd round cup tie this

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

Sithole

 

[TeaCider]

That was outside the box for me.

Ahhhh, misunderstood the ref's gesture, he agreed.

Thought he'd given a penalty.

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Kenneth is on for the pens

 

[Cuthbert]

I think Nigeria deserved to win that. Better side... but sounds like S.A will win the penos.

 

[LaPennaBianca]

Kenneth is on for the pens

And slotted his away

 

[Abel Tasman]

Omeruo on the bench

And has just scored in the penalty shootout

I meant semi final, but can't edit thread title!!

Soz.

The edit thread title button is top right above first comment

 

[Cuthbert]

Oh. I thought the comms were saying the S.A keeper was a peno specialist. Didn't seem much like it

 

[Muttley]

As was pointed out by [insert name of expert summariser here] if he saved four pens, his team mates were missing them.

Best team won. IMO.
