Super Eagles goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali has won the Man of the Match award after saving two penalties to send Nigeria into the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Nwabali has been excellent in the AFCON so far with only two goals conceded as he remains arguably Nigeria’s best player in the tournament thus far.
The Chippa United goalkeeper has won the heart of millions of Nigerians with his impressive outing in the tournament.
Before the clash against South Africa, Nwabali had expressed his interest to face South Africa in the semi-finals.
According to Nwabali, who plays in the South African Premier League, he’s familiar with South African players and would want to “test his defence” against them.
“Both Cape Verde and South Africa are good teams, but I want to play against South Africa,” Nwabali told reporters.
“I really wish to see how my defence will fare against them.
“Yes, most of their players know me, and I also know them.”
