AFCON SEMI-FINAL DAY🤩🤩

Two tight fixtures on today⚽️⚽️

Game 1:

🚨KICK OFF AT 17:00 BST🚨

🇳🇬NIGERIA VS SOUTH AFRICA🇿🇦

This is a battle of the defenses. Both teams have not conceded since match-day one and have found the perfect formula to frustrate different attacking units throughout the tournament. However,Nigeria’s attacking force has looked the more promising in comparison to South Africa’s in the tournament. It’s hard to predict the result of the game but I believe whoever scores first will walk away with the victory and move a step closer to AFCON glory.

Prediction: 🇳🇬Nigeria 1-0 South Africa🇿🇦

Game 2:

🚨KICK OFF AT 20:00 BST🚨

🇨🇮IVORY COAST VS DR CONGO🇨🇩

Both of these nations have made surprising runs in this tournament to get to this stage. Before the quarter-finals DR Congo were yet to win a game within 90 minutes of football, while Ivory Coast sacked their manager mid-tournament but have somehow managed to get past the likes of reigning champions Senegal and a very strong Mali side. Lés Léopards are a spirited side that have been seen as the underdog in many of the games in the tournament but have still progressed. On the other hand, the Ivory Coast have put spirited performances in their last two matches and just narrowly made it through both of those matches. Plus tonight they are without late hero in their last game, Oumar Diakité who received a red card for removing his shirt and without key center back Odilon Kossounou who also received a red card against Mali.

Prediction: 🇨🇮 Ivory Coast 2-2 DR Congo🇨🇩 AET

Penalties: Ivory Coast 3-2 DR Congo

“They say losing the semi-final is just as painful as losing the final”😢
