Super Eagles manager, Jose Peseiro has come out to say that past friendlies between Nigeria and South Africa won’t count in the AFCON semis. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, it is true that the result of the friendlies have not been good enough for Super Eagles, but he only uses such games to test his players against different teams.

Peseiro added that the fact that Nigeria played a lot of those matches away from home was another factor.
His words, “It’s true, our previous results were not so good, against Guinea and especially against Zimbabwe – we deserved to win against Zimbabwe. Our qualification had more goals and a big score.
