2019 Afcon: We expect South Africa's "trick" - Nigeria's Samuel Kalu

Super Eagles’ Samuel Kalu has affirmed they will be up against familiar foes on Wednesday when they face South Africa in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) quarter-final in Cairo.

The Eagles were beaten 2-0 by Bafana Bafana in front of their own fans at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo in June 2017 but they improved with a 1-1 draw in the return leg in Johannesburg last year.

In Afcon, the Eagles needed two second-half goals to nullify the Indomitable Lions’ 2-1 half-time lead. The Cameroon game has motivated the troops ahead of facing South Africa at Cairo International Stadium on Wednesday.
