At the last penalty, with the last breath. Nigeria's Victor Osimhen is in the final of the Africa Cup: South Africa is defeated from eleven meters and the Eagles are back to play the most important tournament of the continent on next February 11th with the possibility of winning it eleven years after the last time.

Tonight, Osimhen - who left the match in the first extra time - will find out who his opponent in the next match will be: Ivory Coast and Congo, in fact, are playing for the last available spot to access the Cup final.

The absolute protagonist is the striker of Napoli: not only does Osimhen earn the penalty that allows his Nigeria to take the lead, but then in the second half he would also score the goal of the doubling that is however canceled by the referee. At the beginning of the action, in fact, a foul in his own penalty area allows the referee to award a penalty kick - then transformed - to South Africa. The draw that will then lead the match first to extra time and then to penalties.
