Good evening and welcome to our live coverage of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between Nigeria and South Africa from the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, on Saturday 10 June 2017.
The teams are out on the field and national anthems are being sung. We are just five minutes from the start of this AFCON qualifier.
These teams will be playing to bring themselves level at the top of Group E with Libya, who racked up an impressive 5-1 win over Seychelles on Friday night. In addition, the referee for this game is Tunisia's Youssef Essrayri.
