HT Report: Nigeria 0-0 Bafana
Bafana Bafana and Nigeria went into the halftime break with the score level at 0-0 in their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
The Super Eagles controlled proceedings from the onset and looked lively down the right flank with Moses Simon.
After a quiet spell in the first half, the home side went close to breaking the deadlock in the 21st minute when Kelechi Iheanacho teed up Etebo, who fired wide from 10-yards out.
Stuart Baxter's charges, on the other hand, were on the back foot for most of the first half, and only looked to attack on the counter.
Bafana showed glimpses of their quick passing game, but they lacked ideas whenever they did enter the final third.
The visitors did go close just before the halftime break when Themba Zwane struck the upright from 10-yards out after an error from Daniel Akpeyi.
Here's how they lined up:
Nigeria: Akpeyi; Shehu, Awaziem, Ekong, Elderson; Onazi, Ndidi, Etebo; Simon, Iwobi, Iheanacho.
Bafana: Khune, Mphahlele, Langerman, Mathoho, Hlatshwayo (c), Furman, Zungu, Zwane, Dolly, Vilakazi, Rantie.
