Bafana Bafana vs Nigeria Afracan Nation Cup Semi-Final 2000.

[@michaelukeje5398]

i was at the national stadium surulere that day to watch the match live and that was my first time watching African cup of nations match live

[@Danorous]

What a match. This is when both team had great players

[@solex608]

When African football was great, fantastic display from the both team.

[@senyoakude1750]

Siyabonga Nomvete,what a great player

[@valoskyhere4u463]

Kept hearing makelele,,,and I was thinking was it makelele of Chelsea playing for south Africa?? D guy was everywhere on d pitch

[@jerryjabu3807]

I was fortunate to have witnessed this generation of players , cream dela cream of South African football minus the great Doctor Khumalo,the late Chippa Masinga,Sizwe Motaung,Benni Mcarthy,the list goes on and on.When we tell people our standard of football has dropped drastically they don't listen.

[@emmanuelsdx]

You didn't mention Quinton Fortune. I was just a little Nigerian boy, but despite immense love for super eagles I was in awe of Quinton Fortune.

[@thompsonmarek9321]

This is year 2000 I guess not 2002

[@godaiftv8319]

You’re right

[@OusmaneSambe-l3f]

Yes 2002 semi final Nigeria vs Sénégal

[@olayiwola4k481]

Yeah, this Nigeria/ Ghana afcon 2000

[@koffiyves6157]

Exactely

[@ayoubasheriff3129]

Yeah ,you right ✅

[@deogratiasshija5897]

The golden age if african football...1996 - early 2000s

[@bernardoloo2023]

What this is beautiful football that we don't see in Africa anymore.. especially the Nigerian team..Todaays AFCON IS VERY BORING

[@chijiokemadubuko9004]

Can you see the difference between Ike Shorunmu and Francis Uzoho? I always rewatch old matches with close to the same excitement I had. The feeling of belief back then was incredible.

[@olumideturton3935]

Nostalgia can be deceitful. Those old keepers had their failings. Uzoho is not in the best of form mentally at this time, but he was a decent keeper at the 2018 world Cup.

[@Christ-Aroma17]

What a depth of squad we used to have, quality on and off the bench. I wonder where were 16V and Benny here

[@tshepomoeti2255]

After 96 16V was already swaak!

[@cecilakajigga3895]

😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@Hunkzilla]

It was Benni's first retirement 😂. But we still made the semi finals ans won the 3rd place playoff game against Tunisia without him. We had great depth back then.

[@crownjohnson8153]

And that was the fastest goal in the history of AFCON scored By Tijani Babangida

[@sundayadeboye3935]

Yes, this is year 2000

[@Hunkzilla]

Coach Trott was crazy enough to use use the 3-5-2 formation in this game knowing full well Nigeria had dangerous wingers like Finidi George and Babangida who were backed up by full backs like Babayaro and that raypist Godwin Okpara . Trott should have just used 3-4-3 formation and place Nomvethe to the left and Bartlett in the middle and then perhaps play Lekolea on the right in a forward 3 . Atleast it would have neutralised Okpara and Babayaro and prevented them from going forward thus leaving Babangida and George isolated against Fortune and Mkhalele.

[@okonjamesimeh]

How can u call someone a rapist without been convicted.

[@Hunkzilla]

​@@okonjamesimeh In August 2005, Okpara was arrested by French police on charges of raping his 13-year-old adopted daughter.[4] He was found guilty and imprisoned in June 2007 for thirteen years. His wife, Linda Okpara, was sentenced to 15 years in jail for torture of the same girl

[@Hunkzilla]

Please attach the Ghana vs South Africa , the one that took place at AFCON 2000. It was a quarterfinal game lll

[@kolawoleokanlawon3471]

Year 2000.. Ghana/Nigeria hosted.

[@Someboripapa1]

I didn't know Tijani Babangida was this good

[@akon9819]

Our national team will never get to that level 🤞

[@cecilakajigga3895]

Where was Benni and 16v ? I don't see them in this match. Nigeria had the best squad Nkanu,West,Babagida.👌👋🔥🔥🔥

[@Hunkzilla]

Benni retired after fighting with SAFA . But Bafana still managed to make it to 3rd place finish at this tournament . Which wasnt that bad. But atleat back then we had depth. We still had nomvethe ,ndlanya , Glen Salmon ,George Koumantarakis , Bartlett to call up .

[@youssefel8026]

Can u post South Africa from Afcon 2002 in Mali please?

[@bakersentamu4725]

This was AFCON 2000 not 2002

[@thandomvimbi1558]

Mngomeni was our best Middlefield in SA this era

[@noelsekatane3252]

Mngomeni took bafana to that afcon with overhead kick that was chosen as best goal in africa...relax tyma

[@thandomvimbi1558]

Babangida killed us so early in this game, I remember watching this as a 1st year student at UWC

[@chrisnwosu5466]

I love seeing South Africa 🇿🇦 play football, this was before Sibusiso Zuma came with his own entertainment in Korea Japan 2022. ❤ From 🇳🇬

[@Someboripapa1]

😂😅 Ghana? Did watch the lineup... Mark Fish played for which country?

[@tammykadessengwayo]

Not 2002

[@victortruck331]

This was the golden years of pure football team not the present shambolic sets of keys called glorified players 😆

[@thandomvimbi1558]

This was in 2000 not in 2002 where Nigeria lost to Cameron in the final in 2002 we were knocked out by Mali who were the host in the 1/8 finals with players Ibrahim Bakayoko, Basala Toure, Seydiu Keita, Dramane Coulibaly and Boubacar Diarra.

[@Danorous]

We lost to Senegal in 2002 semi final. And we beat Mali to win the third place 1-0

[@thandomvimbi1558]

@@Danorous Talking about South Africa my guy

[@hemoeders2635]

Final 2000 is Cameron vs nigeria penalty's en 2002 Cameron vs senegal

[@williamsgdamilola7908]

😢This Was Ghana - Nigeria 2000.. At the national stadium. Nigeria and Cameroon played the final which cameroon eventually won via penalty shoot out

[@Someboripapa1]

How comes Okocha was not in this match?

[@kehindepase6249]

He was red carded in the dying minutes of the quarter final against Senegal.
