South Africa players sang their way from the bus into the stadium. Nigeria players will sing from the stadium all the way to the bus. That’s how stars do. #NGARSA

No player suffered in this game like Bafana's Mkhize. First, Musa used him to wipe the grass, then Iwobi, then Moses Simon. His chi was alive and ensured he finished the game with just a yellow😀😀#NGARSA

Do not be dismayed if you wake up tomorrow and MTN has deducted your data/credit, or if your DSTV suddenly starts to scramble and look for network,
Stay strong.
That’s the price of victory 😂😂😂
A victory we 1-2 boldly say is worth it.

It feels good watching Nigeria beat South Africa on their own DSTV😂😂 #NGARSA

For all the Shoprite in many places,
— #OurFavOnlineDoc 🩺 🇳🇬 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 (@OurFavOnlineDoc) July 10, 2019
For selling SIM cards to us at a point when they should be free, For high DSTV subscription charges,
For everything South Africa has done in Nigeria, we 1-2 say this is our little token of gratitude.
Take it. And enjoy it too 😂😂😂#NGARSA
