Yesterday the Super Eagles of Nigeria had their second training session ahead of Saturday’s game against South Africa in the race to be at next year Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
The Eagles trained behind close doors as coach Gernot Rohr perfects his strategy for the game, where a win will seal Nigeria’s spot as group winners as they are currently leading South Africa with one point.
