victor osimhen thought he made it 2—0 for the super eagles right at the end of the game. assistant referee spotted a foul in the build up all the way in the nigeria penalty area. he awarded south africa a spot kick and it was scored by mokwena. so it went all the way to the shoot—out. and this time ronwen williams, the south africa goalkeeper and captain, couldn't be the hero. kelechi iheanacho scored the winner, and in this stadium behind me, it will now be ivory coast, the hosts ,against nigeria in the africa cup of nations final well, upset for south africa after going out in the cruelist way on penalties, but nigeria managerjose peseiro spoke after the victory and said his squad would enjoy their hard earned win. the players are happy. they deserve. we deserve. the super eagles deserve. uh, it was a very good victory against a very good team. back in nigeria, fans were celebrating after watching their side go through. these were the scenes in lagos as that last penalty went in. fans — who'd been on the edge of their seats, celebrating the tight victory. they'll be loo

victor osimhen meanwhile salvaged a draw for napoli in their first leg tie with barcelona.start for the club since december. robert lewandowski had earlier given the la liga champions the lead in the 60th minute, but it's all square before the return leg in spain some big news off the field in germany. it's been confirmed that manager thomas tuchel will leave bayern munich at the end of the season. he's going a year earlier than planned as part of "a sporting realignment" at the club. he led bayern to last season's bundesliga title, but they're currently eight points behind leaders bayer leverkusen after back—to—back league defeats. one of those was an emphatic 3—0 loss to leverkusen — whose manager xabi alonso is one of the leading candidates to replace tuchel you it is delicate because they are still in a fight over who was winning the title but within a point gap may be that is not that acute at the moment. 0 is an rn pole position and maybe xabi alonso would be willing to entertain this more than he would otherwise but he is the number one preferred option but by and un

and they've been given a massive boost with striker victor osimhen declared fit to play who had beenbdominal problem. it's a rematch of the 2000 afcon semi—final which nigeria won and was the last time south africa reached the last four. this time their coach is hoping they can go one step further: i think for many people it was unexpected. but we did it, and that means that south africa became a good team. it's also more than 20 years ago that south africa played the semifinal, even more that we play the final. that means that we've got a lot of motivation. meanwhile, ivory coast have never won the competition on home soil but expectations have risen after their improbable run to the last four. having scraped into the knockouts they then beat senegal on penalties, before finding a dramatic winner at the end of extra time against mali. later they'll face a dr congo side who'll wear black armbands for those recently affected by the conflict in the country. we will go to the stadium, maybe speak about that, but motivation. because all players know the importance of the game for us. als

napoli striker victor osimhen — just one goal for him so far though, in this tournament, which came in worth reminding everyone as well about the roller—coaster ride that ivory coast have been on sacking their head coach before the group stage was over, being dead and buried several times in the knockout stages and then coming back from the dead. it really has been a fairy tale. but i have to tell you, if you're thinking we're going to be full of goals and drama tonight, ivory coast have been in four previous afcon finals. they're yet to score a goal in any of them. all four have gone to extra time, finished 0—0. that is what, over 8 hours of football. they've won two on penalties, lost two on penalties. surely the same thing can't happen again tonight, can it? we will find out. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines. jude bellingham is expected to miss real madrid's champions league last—16first—leg tie against rb leipzig on tuesday with a sprained ankle. he limped off after scoring two goals against girona last night and the spanish club have not pu

nigeria did score a second through victor osimhen, but it was disallowed for offside.outh korea are through to the semifinals, but only just. they scored a 96th—minute equaliser against australia and then won the match in extra time — tottenham's son heung min with the winner. elsewhere, jordan beat tajikistan i—o. and it was the most highly anticipated fight in the heavyweight division for a long, long time, but everybody is going to have to wait a bit longer to see champions tyson fury and oleksander usyk fight each other. the bout, due to take place on february 17th, has been postponed after fury was cut above his eye during training. new negotiations will now need to take place to rearrange. our boxing reporter ade adeoyin explained the situation to my colleague jane dougall a little bit earlier. purica suffered a cut in training, his team described as a freak accident. they said he needed significant medical attention. they've posted a message on social media, showing the cut, it looks like a bad one so there's no way he could go through with the fight. he posted

victor osimhen scoring here to cancel out robert lewandowski's opener.he denies, are a distraction for his team, but on the track it was business as usual, at the first testing event of the season in bahrain. max verstappen finished more than a second, ahead of the pack, with briton lando norris in second. what red bull has started is an independent investigation. if this is done in the right way with transparency and with that rigour, i think that's something that we we need to look at what the what the outcomes are and what it means for formula one and how we can how we can learn from that. england captain ben stokes says he's never seen anything like the pitch for the fourth test against india, which begins tomorrow. the surface in ranchi has cracks running down one side of the strip, affecting both wickets. at 2—1 down in the series, england need a victory to have a chance of winning the series. it's possible that stokes himself may be bowling. there's definitely a chance. he's not confirmed it yet even in the changing room. so i think he's going to
