Starting 11: Nigeria's starting vs South Africa

Nigeria Starting Eleven

Nigeria Coach Stephen Keshi has made two changes to his starting line-up that will play against South Africa this evening.

In midfield, Keshi brought in Raheem Lawal for the injured Hope Akpan who suffered a dislocated shoulder in Nigeria's last match against Congo in Pointe Noire.

Following his impressive display in the heart of defence for Nigeria in the last game against Congo, Azubuike Egwueke however, made way for the returning Kenneth Omeruo who has recovered from the knock that kept him out of the team in Pointe Noire.

Keshi also retained the duo of Ikechukwu Uche and Emmanuel Emenike in attack, with the team needing maximum points to be able to qualify for the 2015 African Nations Cup tournament.

Starting Eleven: Vincent Enyeama, Efe Ambrose,Kenneth Omeruo, Godfrey Oboabona, Juwon Oshaniwan, Ogenyi Onazi,Raheem Lawal,John Obi Mikel, Ahmed Musa, Ikechukwu Uche and Emmanuel Emenike.
