Nigeria vs South Africa: Hugo Broos names his most feared Super Eagles star

Nigeria will tackle South Africa in a crucial FIFA World Cup qualifier on Friday, June 7 (today) at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.

The highly anticipated clash will be a rematch of the semifinal of the 2023 African Cup of Nations, where the Super Eagles edged Bafana Bafana via the shootouts to qualify for the final of the tournament.

With 2 points from the first 2 games, the Super Eagles will need a win to get their World Cup campaign back on track.

Despite the absence of key players such as Victor Osimhen, Moses Simon, and Ahmed Musa, the team still boasts several attacking talents that can pose a threat to any opponent.

Speaking ahead of the mouthwatering fixture, South Africa boss Hugo Broos named Atalanta's in-form winger Ademola Lookman as the Super Eagles star he is most wary of.

"Obviously, the danger man is Ademola Lookman, but we are not focusing on that. We are focusing on our game. We have the ability, and we have proven that at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Côte d’Ivoire."

Broos lost by four goals to nil the last time he visited the Godswill Akpabio Stadium with the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon.

The game will kick off at 8:00 pm local time.
