and I have no doubt that they will prevail over the South Africans in
order to qualify for Algeria 2013,” Maigari said
Midfield ace Abduljeleel Ajagun scored
Nigeria’s equalizer in the first leg after the South Africans scored
early in the game at the Mbombela World Cup Stadium.
Ajagun also scored the opener in the 2-1
defeat of Tanzania at the Ilorin Township Stadium in the earlier round
and will lead the line against the Amajita.
