FULL-TIME, NIGERIA 1-1 SOUTH AFRICA (4-2 on penalties). Brilliant performance all around from Nigeria who are worthy winners and deserve their shot at the final. For Bafana, pure heartbreak after such a good tournament. They played above themselves a lot of the time, but they defended superbly throughout and also were passionate and purposeful on attack. A magnificent evening of football from both sides, the Refunds Window is well and truly closed, so you ain't getting your money back after this match, but we hope you enjoyed following it as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you. Up shortly is the second semi-finalthen later this week the 3rd place playoffand then the final! Enjoy it all and travel safe.
GOAL! Nigeria 4-2 South Africa. Williams dives right, full-length, stretching for all he's worth but heanach has the sporting gods on his side, as his kick canons in off the right post. So, so, so close for Bafana. A centimetre to the right and it would have bounced away from goal. Heartbreaking for Bafana, but Nigeria are a truly powerful side and to lose to them is no shame.
