The Super Eagles of Nigeria have failed to qualify for the 2015 African Nations Cup after being held to a 2-2 draw by the Bafana Bafana of South Africa at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium.

Congo had defeated Sudan 1-0 in the other Group A match which meant Nigeria missed out on a top two place in the Group.

Tokelo Rantie had put the South Africans 2-0 up with a goal in either half of the game but Sone Aluko leveled the scores on the 68th and 90th minutes.

The South Africans however finished the game with ten men after  Renielwe Letsholonyane was sent off with 72 minutes into the game for committing two bookable offences.
